[google-appengine] Google apps engine for Business pricing Q

2010-10-20 Thread David Parks
I'm looking at Google apps engine for Businesses, and in the pricing it
says:

Each application costs $8 per user, up to a maximum of $1000, per month. 

Can someone explain to me what a user is in this context? I can't find any
explanation. Is this just the user that creates the app on
appengine.google.com? Meaning $8 allows you to create up to 10 apps +
billable usage over the free quota? Or is there no free quota on the
business edition?

Wait.. I just realized something.  Does this mean that if I am the only user
of my App (and all it does it backend processing), I can pay Google $8 a
month so the engineers have to respond to any old silly e-mail I send them
(Will they have to LOL at my jokes?)?  (AND I get a SLA?  If the pricing
stays like this, I'm in!)

Though, for your purposes, David, the FAQ might help to clarify how unclear
the pricing is:

http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/business.html

http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/business.htmlMainly (they're still
figuring it out):

You can also use App Engine for Business to build external applications.
We’re still working out the details on pricing so stay tuned (but don’t
worry, you won’t have to pay per user!).
Note: The prices outlined here are subject to change at any time without
notice before release.

Do I have to pay for my application while I’m developing it?

No, your application remains free as long as it is in development. Only when
the application has been published and is active do you need to begin paying
for it.

At least the stated plan is that you do not need to pay per user while in
development.. so that seems nice.

 Can someone explain to me what a “user” is in this context? I can’t find
 any explanation. Is this just the user that creates the app on
 appengine.google.com? Meaning $8 allows you to create up to 10 apps +
 billable usage over the free quota? Or is there no free quota on the

Ah, I just realized that as long as it is in development could just as
easily mean, as long as it is just on your computer and you have not
deployed to appengine.

Unless they have some other sort of formal definition for published and
active that doesn't just mean deployed.. Who knows when or how you start
paying.  Anyway, I'm just here for the $8 SLA.. Though, I'm guessing they'll
add a minimum user count ;(
