The original design of AppEngine is pay for what you use. Obviously the new pricing model (min 15 min instance charge, "low latency over resources usage") is going after the "pay for the machines you use" model.
If this is the case, it is so stupid to me that the original language of the choice of AppEngine (python) is single threaded on AppEngine. Google should also update their platform alongside with the new pricing so we could make full use of the machine resources. Non-blocking server like tornado (http://www.tornadoweb.org/) or node.js have proven that a single machine can do a lot of thing. I hate to see the new pricing goes into effect without platform update that let us make us of the "machines" that we are paying for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
