I banked on everything costing 50-100% more. (1.5-2x) that's what "Beta" kind of means. I currently trust that Google won't price themselves out of the market, and GAE will be on par with EC2/AWS or Rackspace Cloud. But I expect that with GAE there will be less hands on knowledge of the operating environment needed so at same pricing I can win on administration costs.

I believe everyone who have been using GAE for their business have been using it because we have faint on Google that Google will make it a great service for us. Not much people complained about the HR new pricing because we had a choice to stay at the current one. Now the pricing is going to go up for a few times to what we have been paying and we DONT have a choice. We used to care about our code only to make it consume as few CPU as possible. Now we are going to calculate how to minimize the cost without angering our consumer for having not enough instances. We chose to lockup ourself within the GAE infra-struture in the past because we believed in Google. Now what we get in return? (I still love the GAE team but sorry, I am really disappointed about the new pricing before Google can show us how good it is for us.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
