Even for bigger ones !!! My apps was costing 400 USD a month up to now and with the new pricing it is going to cost 1300 USD a month for the same resources !! That is completely nonsense and not very delicate for a provider to multiply by 3 the price of an application. Result : We are

Have you tried configuring your Max Idle Instances to 1, and see how that affects your estimated bill? If you read around this forum, there have been many others that were shocked by the increase in the estimated bill, but have managed to bring it down to reasonable levels by optimizing their

Thanks Guys for your suggestions. If I switch to any GAE pricing model, it will not suit me. However, I have some shared hosting providers which are very cheap. I can switch some sites of mine which are on GAE. Clients here don't know about HRD, Cloud, distributed db. Any mysql db + small disk

I generally share this opinion - seriously, if $9/mo is a problem, you're not running a business. That's two lates (one in NYC). However, I think there is a deeper issue here which is that 50k datastore operations per day really isn't much. It's actually somewhat hard to run a hobby project on
