After prolonged response time in the last few days, Cloud DB seems to have increasingly trouble responding.
This often results in a time out error.
I've been using App Inventor Cloud DB for several years now in an unchanged application and hardly experienced any down time.
The application is for Garden Lights control/automation, and it uses an Arduino plus an old Android phone for communication with CloudDB.
This old phone started switching off the AI2 application probably due to time out errors in the CloudDB Handling. So I tried a newer phone with the same AI2 app and it shows CloudDB time out error messages on a regular bases. However it doesn't drop out of the app.
So to test things further I made a tiny app that has one button and a single variable.
When the button is pushed, it adds 1 to a variable and writes that variable to CloudDB.
Immediately after that it reads the variable in CloudDB and as soon as a value is received, that value is printed on my screen.
So I can see in almost real time how much time the system needs to get the newly saved value. Generally it returns the right value within half a second.
But sometimes it takes a much longer time, resulting in a time out error.
Has anyone else the same issue?
Kind regards,
Wil.
