I'm waiting to see how multi-threading affects things. Appengine has been a great platform so far, and I'd be very surprised if Google lets it end up become more expensive than AWS or Azure.
Remember that with AWS (or any other VPS) you really need several instances (in different regions) to replicate Appengine and Azure's redundancy, and you need to manage both the servers and the systems linking them. If you don't care about enterprise-scale scalability or redundancy, you will certainly find cheaper options - Appengine is not the appropriate platform for your site. I also think it's a bit rich to talk about "bait and switch" and "constantly changing billing". Appengine has been billed as a technology preview all along, and now it's come into full production they're setting realistic charges. You would have to be very naive to assume you would get a free ride forever. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
