I am crying and leaving as well.. the costs jump from $12 to $180 per month is ridiculous. I built a platform which was cheap to host in GAE and was selling it to customers over the year. Its CPU and Datastore intensive (does request every second by using cron and task queue all the time).
Now with this price jump I cant keep my demo site running and sell it to customer because its to expensive!
