You can host your code on their servers. Additionally, you get access the memcache, data access, etc, deployed in Google data centers. The free portion basically allows you to provide 1 Gig per day to users of your application. >> I'm just totally floored by how much their offering for free. > It's not for free.

Increasing resource caps is ludicrously cheap, so if a > 1 mil hits a month site takes off, they have to pay. However, the quota scale is this (all units are per day): CPU Time: Free Quota : 6.5 processor hours Additional Time: $0.10 per hour Outgoing Bandwidth: Free Quota: 1GB Additional Space: $0.12 per GB Incoming Bandwidth: Free Quota: 1GB Additional Space: $0.12 per GB Stored Data: Free Quote: 1GB Additional Space: $0.005 per GB There are also other quotas on variouse services (only a *mere* 2,000 a day can you send, oh my), but they also have small microfees associated if you wish to increase the cap. The only real non-dynamic per day cost would be Stored Data, which would generally not shrink. But then again, Spending a whopping $5.00 a month would end up giving you like 10 GB of data stored. I suppose it does make it much easier when a site grows to keep it in the 'google family', as I'd have to increase my outgoing bandwidth to be able to export my data in a day.
