Shawn, By the same token google could cut all their hardware in half and double page loads, check out this formula:
NumberOfRequests / HardwareQuality = PageLoad Therefore, Google should power the entire GAE infrastructure with a netbook - yes each page would take 2.5 decades to load, but imagine the cost savings! The main point of my post is the model, not the money. I am more than willing to pay for AppEngine as I love it and think it's the future. The issue is that I don't want to pay and manage "instances" because in my opinion that goes against the model. I would prefer to pay a higher rate (or the equivalent money some other way) without the knowledge of instances. With all that said, and re-reading some other posts, I may actually be wrong here... To be sure, if I pay for a warmed instance and, say, my site gradually becomes more and more popular and gradually goes from 1 instance to 11 - have I received the benefit of a warmed instance at every step of the way? Is my twelfth instance now the "warm" one? Cheers, Baz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
