Something must be wrong with the new pricing model. When I look at the Usage Report for 2011-08-26, then it says total: $0.30. With the new pricing model it says: $3.66. With the same amount of usage for one month it will be around $110. For one application with tiny traffic! And that is only t

I'm seeing an 8X increase with the new pricing model. Combined with poor performance and reliability the last few months I'm thinking of spending my time moving to AWS instead of investing more time trying to optimize. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

Ditto - although the figure I'm looking at is moving from well within the existing free quotas to $120/month - for a non-revenue-generating application. I suppose you could argue that as the service has been running for a couple of years, Google have already donated what they now value to be $

I took a look at the Amazon prices just now. It looks quite expensive too. And the same dubious and opaque cost per instance concept. Both Google and Amazon can cram in 1000 instances in each physical server! Talk about hideous profit margin. The cost for GAE will be low if the instances is lim

Update: I disabled "always on", set minimal latency to 60ms and now I seem to have much less instances. My three websites now seem to have each two instances. I am not sure if my changes have anything to do with this. My iPhone stats website (by *far* the one with more traffic) now seems to be st

Actually I spoke/wrote too fast. My smallte.ch website now has closed its useless second instance. Also my 36$/month numbers were wrong since obviously the first instance is free. If it remains like that it could be tolerable but I am still baffled by the numbers I saw in my history. -- You rec

Each EC2 instance can serve a lot more traffic than AppEngine instance (2 for python at a time at this moment). I would say AppEngine instances are a lot more expensive (not to mention much more limitation). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google

When I started learning about AppEngine Python was obviously the preferred language (features were being added to Python first)... so I learned Python. Now it seems I made the wrong choice (especially since I was already comfortable with Java). Instance-based pricing is really killing me here. I d

As I'm reading more and more about people's new pricing problems... it seems to me there's either some calculation error on Google's managers behalf or they are slowly killing the product. It seems reasonable that the new prices are mistaken by order of magnitude. For example 0.41$ => 7.05$ (bette

Google's instance-hour is process-instance-hour whereas AWS's instance- hour is machine-instance-hour. Every process GAE spins up count as one instance-hour while you got the whole machine for a hour in AWS and you can spin up as many processes as the machine instance can handle. When multiple w

Are you running Python or Java instances? A lot of the costs come from the fact that a single Python instance serves one request. We do expect there to be some price increase, but sometimes when someone says "20x" increase, it's not clear to us whether that's because you went from $1 -> $20 ($9 min
