Instance = more parity with the way other services bill.
CPU = More Parity with how Enterprise Sys Admins think. (and programmers). I really like the price per cycle model. Knowing that 2+2 takes 4 cycles and that as my provider gets faster it will still take 4 cycles but those cycles will take less time is reassuring because I know my pricing is fixed, and platform independent. I also like know that some of my operations can be split up in to "Make left leg" , "Make head", "make right arm" and so I can either use 1 instance for 9 months, or 9 instances for 1 month and either way have function "make baby" work.

We're still sorting out the details, but we will most likely be charging for entity reads, entity writes, and index writes. This is actually pretty similar to what we do today, but we think the units are easier to understand than cpu. Under this proposed model, multiget/multiput are a single api call but the cost will be determined by the number of entities you are fetching or the number of entities and indexes you are writing with that single api call. Question for Spines: Why do you feel that charging the same amount for reads and writes discourages efficiency? I think the correct incentives are in place under the proposed model: For writes, if you have fewer indices on your entity your writes are cheaper. For reads, the cost is directly tied to how much data you pull back. Hope this helps, Max -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
