[google-appengine] Site in app engine allows downloads of PDF over HTTP but not HTTPS

[Nikos Katsikanis]

Any ideas why this works

but https doesn't?

[google-appengine] Appengine Flexible Pricing is total Ripoff

[Rahul Tongia]

Hi Google Team,

I have recently migrated an application from old Managed VMs to "flex". My 
application does server side processing using flex and we use servers in 
24x7 mode. After few days of using flex, I find it way more expensive than 
alternatives.

Here are few observations.
- For Same VM configuration: Flex pricing is nearly 3 times for my use case 
after including just Compute Engine sustained pricing. Even the 
"vm/core/hour" or "RAM/hour" costs are way more.
- Datastore costs have gone up much more because of missing "Memcache" in 
Flex. Even with Cloud Redis, we are paying additional cost.
- We had to rewrite entire codebase which was using messaging to PubSub

In effect, we don't see the additional value in Flex that we are being 
charged for. In fact, much of the value has been removed. I understand 
reduced DevOps, Health Check with flex is valuable, however, the pricing of 
it should be reconsidered. At this point of time, I am considering either 
to move off entirely from AppEngine or atleast moving to our flex instance 
to Google Kubernetes Engine.

Few questions that would help us decide:

   - Are there any considerations to make Flex pricing fair in the coming 
   weeks?
   - How reliable is this page giving an example of migration of Flex -> 
   GKE 
   : 
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/run-flex-app-on-kubernetes
 
   . Are there any examples in Github?
   - What is your Roadmap regarding CloudTasks, Memcache for Flex?

Regards,
Rahul Tongia
