I agree jay, the most important feature for me right now is getting the payment system in place. One thing that is not clear to me is if we will be able to buy more Puts-per-hour so that we aren't taken offline for a legitimate spike in traffic. I'm not sure how I would tell me clients to *slowly* ramp up their usage :) (now if there was a queue in GAE that I could dump to and slowly add from the background, i would gladly use it). I've looked at SimpleDB too and the lack of Put limits makes it far easier to test a real-world application.
some notes on this from yesterday's chat that were somewhat encouraging: [09:29am] ryan_google: billing will include user-definable budgets, notifications, and other tools to let you ensure that you're not cut off [09:52am] danielobrien: Vamsi: Billing is sometime between now and the end of march, not necessarily march itself. <--maybe March, yuck [09:57am] marzia_google: bFlood: we are trying to release some form of billing by the end of the year, but the exact timeline and form of such a release is yet to be determined On Nov 19, 10:12 pm, "Jay Freeman \(saurik\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It seems to me like, if this were a problem, then Google isn't doing their > job when it comes to scaling our applications.
