Is it possible to obtain some kind of statistics on which user spent how much time on which application when they log into Google Apps?
Applications example would be gmail/sites/talk etc.,
You could try "Analytics for Google Apps" to analyze traffic limited to your sites, documents, presentations and spreadsheets.
Afaik, it's not possible to monitor gmail and gtalk.
You cannot measure how much time each user spends on each google app. However you can run domain usage reports. there is an API for reports (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/get-start/getting-started) and there are also many built-in reports in the google apps console (https://admin.google.com). This help article summarizes it: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6000239?hl=en

I'm considering implementing and publishing a Web App using Google Apps Scripts, which I'm quite familiar with for personal projects. I've never published a project to share with other people but I have an idea that would fit perfectly well for consumer users, probably for thousands of them. I've googled for the last 24hrs to see if there's any experience with simultaneous executions of a Web App when it runs as "user accessing the app" but I've failed to find any direct answer to my questions.
According to Google Developers Documentation, there is a daily limit of 30 simultaneous executions of the Web App, which coincides with the results of this test. However, neither the documentation explains on what conditions that limit would be reached nor the test was run with different users accessing the Web App authenticated.
Before trying to test it myself, which I find hard to do since right now I have no access to more than 30 different Google consumer accounts, I'd like to ask if there is someone who has direct experience publishing Web Apps using GAS with permissions set as "user accessing the app" and has found errors beyond the 30 simultaneous users.
Thank you.

I use URL fetch calls in Adwords scripts to scrape various sources, most of all my own web pages. I find myself limited by the quota of 20 000 requests/24hours. https://script.google.com/dashboard . Where can I apply for a larger quota?
I have substantially large Adwords accounts.
My account managers and Adwords support didn't know the answer and finally sent me to the Adwords API support team. Adwords API support sent me here to stackoverflow. Thanks for any input.
You may want to check this documentation which outlines various limits and limitations in AdWords scripts that you should be aware of. Also note that, Google Apps Script services impose daily quotas and hard limits on some features.
And as commented by #rckrd, to get a higher quota, you may want to sign up for G Suite. See this page for more information on quota limits for Google Services.
Does Google offer any type of dashboard which shows which scripts are using the most amount of computer time? I've been getting a lot of notices lately that I'm exceeding my computer time quota. I'm making adjustments where I can but it's difficult to know where I can tweak things without some type of dashboard showing me where my quota is being used.
There are a few ways to check quotas. Some of the service APIs may have methods (like MailApp's getRemainingDailyQuota). You can also check the Quotas page from your Developer's Console. Sometimes you get quota errors that are unclear but there is a reference page that clarifies some of them.
I am starting to develop a windows-like client google drive client for linux.
I have some problems that I am solving yet, but one no technical question are worrying me.
The drive sdk has request limit, I want open my app like other options (for example gdrive ) but the request limit will avoid general availability.
I need put a personal id, but I suppose that is not the way to publish the app.
How other options solve this problem?
Google Drive Apps have a "courtesy limit" of 10 million requests per day I believe.
I cannot imagine a situation in the near future where you will run into issues.
If so this is often referred to in the world of software development as "the good problem".
Google will no doubt allow you to scale if your app provides value to users and needs the bandwidth.
If I write an entire web app in GAS and then it gets popular and it starts receiving a thousand requests per second. Is there any way to either pay Google to handle it, or host my GAS app on non-Google infrastructure, in the same way that here does for Google App Engine?
Your GAS script scales up automatically. The only thing that you should be worried about is your code where, if you have locks, thousands of users waiting for a lock will cause delays to the user. Other than that, scaling up shouldn't be a problem. After all, there are possibly millions of scripts being run by different users.
I've never seen Google suggest Apps Script is the tool for that kind of scale. Go to App Engine, do not pass Go, etc.
There is no third-party implementation of the Google Apps Script services. It is, however, a JavaScript implementation on Java (think Rhino) which you can run yourself - or you could run on App Engine and use the Java GData APIs to replace the Apps Script services.
if the App is running under the user account (execute the app as the user accessing the web app) it will consume each user's quotas and use their own account resources (docs, sheets, etc). This would allow for 'unlimited' scalability.
This is just my own view, am I right or totally wrong?
