Is google compute engine capable or running big server side programs?

  1. Do we need to code specially for utilizing all the cores of an instance of the virtual machine in google compute engine ? ( threading )

  2. If I add a new instance with an existing instance in which an app is running, does the system dynamically scale up its entire configuration or the second instance runs independent from the first?

    • If independent: Is there a way of making two instance communicate with each other?
  3. Is read and write from multiple instance possible in a single persistence disk?

  4. Is there a maximum limit for the network traffic that can be handled by an instance?

5) What is the worst case delay in the communication between two instances running at different regions?

The answer is Yes. Compute engine is capable of running "big" server side programs.

Now reading the text below the title I would recommend looking at AppEngine. It scales to load. And you can use Memcache or Datastore to store and share data quickly among all instances, even across regions.
