:) I am just curious how SnapChat can profit with App Engine's so high instance price. So I google "snapchat app engine", then google shows me this thread. I still haven't found any detail specifications provided by SnapChat's owner company. Your example is very extreme. I'm curious how many pageviews and revenue of timh's website.
