[google-appengine] Re: Google setting a precedent for unstable cloud-compute billing
The inflation rate is over the long run insignificant compared to the doubling of cost-performance each year. In 10 years that means 1000 times cheaper computing power, storage and communication! So with a fixed price Google (and other cloud providers) can within a few years reach astronomical profit margins and hope that their customers doesn't understand exponential progress.

No one who signed up for App Engine ever saw that e-mail coming a mile away, and it hurts. Here's a plain and simple idea that makes sense: Why not just keep the pricing the same and announce you're going to charge 2% increases each year to match for inflation? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

Also, bums me out that I saw you guys offering to help a customer with $27000 of resource usage or whatever. Since then I saw you've edited the post where you said to this customer, We'll work through this with you What about your other customers like your $60 customers? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

If I read correctly, moving from Python 2.5 - 2.7 will reduce billing charges for everybody. Hey Google, Why not introduce the new billing after introducing 2.7?

Wow they really did this? Now I'm burnt. I won't deploy future apps on App Engine and will slowly migrate the current ones away. This whole thing is ridiculous. They could totally offer BestBuy $1 monthly bills while charging us $60s.
