Using Google App Engine Memcache... Can more than one user access the same key-value pair? or in other words.. Is there a Memcache created per user or is it shared across multiple users?

GAE's memcache implementation is a distributed in-memory data cache. Meaning its not per user, and it's not persistent. Data can be evicted anytime without any notification

What do you need to understand? You basically set a value and get a value. If it does not exist in the cache, then you proceed to fetch from your datasource, or whatever the case maybe.

It's not shared between multiple applications if that's what you asked. Each of your instances on a single application will see a consistent view of the cache.
From documentation: The cache is global and is shared across the application's frontend, backend, and all of its services and versions.
