My first feelings about the new pricing model were negative. But it seems we have to cope with it, and I'm now looing into in what it means concretely.
If I understand correctly a Paid app will cost $9 p/month independent of storage, bandwith or running instanges. No big deal. Paid apps get 24H free instance hours p/day. So if I understand correctly for $9 p/month I can have a paid app running on 1 instance. I only need to pay for data/blobstore, email, xmpp and channel API calls beyond there free limits. Any API calls for e.g. requests, memcache, tasks is included in the $9 p/month. Now Java supports the threadsafe option and Google is also enhancing the usage of instances/instance hours. If I need more then 1 instance, e.g. 2 instance average this will cost: $9 p/month fixes 1st instance free 2nd instance 24 * 30 * 0.08 = +/- 57.50 So 1 instance $9 And per addition instance 57.50 additional costs. Please correct me if wrong. Now 3 questions: 1. Is GAE able to auto-scale (start and stop additional needed instances) automatically? 2. Can we run additionally needed instances for only part of the day? E.g. during peak hours? This is related to question 1 about auto- scalability. 3. How much can 1 instance handle? What is the predictiveness of knowing how many instances are needed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
