Realistically speaking you needn't worry. 200.000 clicks is worth 20.000$'s at least, If you are talking about a facebook page with 3M likes, you are likely going to get 1-2k clicks, at best case.

But let's assume it will be as you say, AppEngine would be your best choice, it can handle the traffic easily without any effort (enable billing) and I'm sure you will only pay a couple of $'s. 200.000 views is nothing On Friday, January 18, 2013 10:38:03 PM UTC+2, max7 wrote: > > I am going to advertise my mobile app in social network group with 3 > million subscribers. > My app is available on iOS and Android. > > QR code and link from post will direct to my URL that would be redirected > to AppStore or Google Play based on Agent header. > > I believe 50-90% clicks will happen first hour or even 10 minutes when > post would appear in news line in social network. > > I do not know how many people will click.
