I'd recommend any/all app developers to go over and have look. I don't want to get all worked up on something that hasn't happened yet but some of the price points mooted in this survey are positively eye watering. I'm happy to put my name to the feedback I left and I'd be curious to see what others think.
------------------ Honestly, the types of prices you are flagging here are pretty concerning, even at the low end, and I can see it becoming uneconomical very quickly once you add a few of these services on to your account. I'd expect a substantial improvement in performance to go along with these prices. It moves well away from the metered billing approach that is used now. At the very least I'd like to see some packaging of these advanced capabilities at a discount instead of getting nickeled and dimed for them individually. As a GAE/J dev, it would lead me to seriously consider porting my app to EC2/Beanstalk or other alternatives. When it is more cost effective to run 4-5 instances 24/7 on EC2 (even if they are idle half the time) than run my app on GAE then your doing it wrong. ------------------ -James On 11 February 2011 10:34, Gregory D'alesandre <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello All, > I'm one of the Product Managers on App Engine at Google.
