Hi Tapir,

GREAT contribution, thank you for your input.

It is true that golang has less issues starting quickly, and generally uses 
less resources, so it does indeed come out cheaper. Especially now that Go 
has been taken out of Beta, it's even better news!

Cheers

The cost of AppEngine java projects is much larger than AppEngine golang 
projects. 
To avoid the cold start problem. java GAE project need more instances than 
golang projects, for golang projects have no the cold start problem.

Don't use java for your AppEngine projects.

Hi Keith,

Unfortunately, depending on the app you do, prices can change drastically. 
You do have free tiers for instance hours (28 for front end and 8 for back 
ends), so the cost would not be 76$ per month, but it also depends on your 
instance type (F2 cost twice as much as F1, etc)

Without a more in depth idea of how many instances you need, what you will 
process, what backend-data you need, if you save information (and if you 
do, in which service), this is literally impossible to answer accurately. I 
can suggest our calculator , 
but you still need to know a lot about your application to get a good idea 
of your price.

As for your second question, it really depends what you do again. Since 
Google App Engine does not have a product called "Google App Engine CDN", I 
will assume you mean either webhosting with Compute Engine, serving static 
content with App Engine, or configuring a Google Cloud Storage bucket as a 
website. In any case, as long as you serve static content, no it won't work 
with these as they work purely staticly. You definitely could setup a full 
App Engine application, where you can serve images and resize it on the fly.

I hope I clarified your questions. If you still have more, feel free to ask 
me, I'll be happy to help further.

Cheers!
