In GAE you must cache often used data in memcache to reduce cost and
latency.

Correction: my math is probably off by a factor of about 10 on the
AdSense revenue estimate, and I apologize for my quickness in jumping
to my conclusion.
But still, we're talking about some pretty narrow margins here.

Consider an average dynamic page in any web application. It might do
one entity write and fetch a small result set. Under the new GAE
billing model, this might cost 25 Write Ops, and 21 Read Ops (a pretty
conservative estimate).
Those amount to ~ $40 per million page views, which is more than the
average revenue from Google AdSense for the same million pageviews!
There's something really wrong with this picture. The reason AdSense
does so well is that web hosting in this day and age costs a lot less
than what AdSense earns. But now GAE hosting is about to cost much
more than what AdSense earns (and so far I only counted just the
datastore ops, so the true costs might be 2-3x higher than $40 per
million pageviews).
The bottom line: developers will be losing money by hosting an ad-
supported application on GAE!
What's going on here? Google App Engine was supposed to be more cost-
effective than the alternatives, but these new prices seem to be
totally out of whack with the reality of current web economics.
To the management at Google who came up with these prices: please
consider consulting the AdSense team before these prices go into
effect!
