Question

My Google App Engine application runs out of memory at about 100 MB. I need more. Looking at the list of quotas on my dashboard: https://appengine.google.com/dashboard/quotadetails
I didn’t find anything about memory.

Is there a way to buy more memory allocation for my app?

Answer 1

it sounds like you need a “backend”:

App Engine Backends are instances of your application that are exempt
from request deadlines and have access to more memory (up to 1GB) and
CPU (up to 4.8GHz) than normal instances. They are designed for
applications that need faster performance, large amounts of
addressable memory, and continuous or long-running background
processes.

Backends share the handlers defined in app.yaml with the main
application version.
