Ha nice. :)

Looks like we're straight up logging here. A different approach is writing usage stats to an actual datastore model and surfacing those stats as an API. Downloading and processing GAE logs can be kind of painful, IMO.

If we decided to go with datastore logging, there's a pretty straight forward sharding scheme to avoid write contention when there are lots of concurrent requests.

Good stuff man!
