This is a good point. An instance on EC2 can probably handle tens if not hundreds of requests. I found one user with a Drupal-based site that handled 45-60 requests a second on a small linux instance ($0.085 cents/hour). So assuming an equivalent Django app on Appengine can serve three requests a second, for equivalent bang per buck Google should charge 0.085/15 per instance hour just to match EC2. Appengine does add value with platform management and automatic scaling, but I'm guessing the vast majority of apps would never need more than a single EC2 instance. If Google keeps this pricing, they risk losing this majority to Amazon. Cheers Greg. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
