Yes, yes, yes there is :) Don't set max idle instances to 50 It's like saying, I have a shitload of money, so you can keep 50 idle instances for nothing, just in case something happens
Especially at short bursts, those idle instances fire, and you get to pay the hourly cost I think appengine is much more economical than alternative scenarios, if used right, it's obviously challenging and quirky "pageview" is also ambiguous, I have 1 rpc / mostly html sections of an existing app, they did generate millions of views at one point, but I didn't see any significant increase in my costs There are many things to consider, for example do you have threadsafe: true etc. etc. I used to have idle instances high, it cost more than necessary bills for a short span of time for me Also I've recently discovered newly(?) modified weekly discounted hours functionality, still mourning my losses, the first implementation was ridiculous, current one is a must have On Monday, October 7, 2013 2:41:03 PM UTC+3, Claudio Antunes wrote: > > I think App Engine is very, very good, but it is very, very expensive. > Yesterday I was testing my application and I've did a comparison: > About 600,000 pageviews delivered, I paid US$ 35 to Google. > I'm using Frontend Instance Class F1 and 50 Max Idle Instances and 4.0s to > Min Pending Latency. > On my current hosting, VPS.NET <http://vps.net/>, I pay US$ 30 daily to > have 2 machines with 38.4GHz Dedicated CPU and 6152MB Dedicated RAM to > delivery my application.
