Hi all, I've got a post (http://izuzak.wordpress.com/2009/08/27/how-to- supercharge-your-free-appengine-quota/) on pumping up your free AppEngine quota. Here's the useful payload:
"Other than billable quotas, there are also unbillable quotas which increase when you switch to the paid model but are not billed. So, by switching to the paid model, irregardless to how you distribute your budget, your app gets a free bump in the: * number of requests it can process from 1,300,000 to 43,000,000 and from 7,400 to 30,000 req/min, * number of outgoing HTTP requests from 657,000 to 46,000,000 and from 3,000 to 32,000 req/min, * number of memcache calls from8,600,000to 96,000,000 and from 48,000 to 108,000 calls/min, and many others. These are very usable improvements by themselves for apps that need to process a lot of requests (or bursts of requests) which don’t consume a lot of CPU time, or apps that need to make a lot of outgoing HTTP requests that don’t consume a lot of bandwidth. So here’s the idea for supercharging your free AppEngine quotas: 1) switch you app to the paid model by enabling billing, 2) enter the minimum daily budget ($1), 3) distribute the budget over resources you are 100% sure will not consume their free quota (e.g. if you have a stateless app which doesn’t use the database, put the whole $1 in the stored data quota). Since you put your budget on resources which won’t consume the entire free quota and since AppEngine doesn’t charge you anything if the app doesn’t step over the free quota – you are essentially getting a better free quota." What do you guys think? Are there any other hacks for squeezing more out of AppEngine?
