As many of you know, I am strong supporter of the GAE Community. I was an Early Adopter, and I have defended many of the decisions Google has made. I think the GAE Team is great, but I am loyal first and fore-most to my piggy bank.
I have 100s of small apps running CDN In A Box. And they are all seeing similar price increase at about 15x through November, and then when the 50% discount on FrontEnd, goes away this app will go from $1.49 to $42. One of the smaller clients will be going from .26 cents per week to 15.24 Pre-November, $28 Post. That is over 100x increase in pricing. When Google Announced the pricing change they assured me that the numbers I predicted in, increased cost would not be the 15x that I had predicted. So I have waited patiently. But it appears that all of the small clients I have brought to GAE are going to be moving to Azure, unless something changes in the very, very near term. My Business model is built around the people who want $20-100 a month services that I mark up 50-70% If I sell a $20 plan that used to cost $1 and suddenly costs me $28 Things won't quite work out. I had planned for a 8-10x increase, but there is no head room on a 15-30x increase.
