Since VinnyP and I have hijacked this thread (well let's say we re-directed
it to say GAE is *not* expensive for SMB)... here is an example. A local
bakery started by two sisters in the small town in which I live. They had
no idea how to get up their web site, and got screwed several times by

What would really be nice is if Google or someone made a
Absolutely agree. WIth proper design, most small businesses should be
easily capable of running GAE at very low or no cost. I ALWAYS recommend
it. Unfortunately I have never gotten the sense that Google has any
targeted marketing plan for SMB. Some of the setups I see are so
discouraging. BTW G
I agree with @Kaan.
I run a small business site on gae, and I am both happy with the price, the
performance and the reliability.
Sure I could run it on other hosting services, however I don't have the
time or the inclination to maintain the whole stack down to the OS,
manage scalability, etc...
I don't agree, even if it's true, and you have strong evidence, why do you
keep on paying $3k, does the weight of your money disturb you, do you feel
like you need to lose some?
I might be able to reproduce a similar system to mine with 1/2X the gae
cost, however it wouldn't be scalable, I woul
GAE is 30x more expensive than hosting things yourself.
I know this because I pay $3000 a month for something that I could be
paying $70 :)

I remember the days of the GAE polls (think that product mgr may be gone
now - at least the polls seem to be). An interesting poll would be which is
more desired by customers: 1) Cost reduction w/ fewer new features, or 2)
Current costs and feature progress. (I would add a third: 10x reduction i
It is interesting to ponder. The theory is that GAE lets us scale... but if
it takes 100X the number of instances to process the same amount of
traffic, who but Google could actually afford to scale? And 100X might not
be unrealistic; a 16GB 8-core linode is down to $320/mo; an 8G 4-core

As Kaan noted, 50 idle instances is far, far too much. GAE uses two
different types of instance
I think App Engine is very, very good, but it is very, very expensive.
Yesterday I was testing my application and I've did a comparison:
About 600,000 pageviews delivered, I paid US$ 35 to Google.
I'm using Frontend Instance Class F1 and 50 Max Idle Instances and 4.0s to
Min Pending Latency.
