Well, actually, Google got lots of developers to test their platform and various service API roll-outs for free for three years. It's been pretty much of a quid pro quo up until now. My python app gets sporadic traffic and the lengthy instance cold startup times are really damaging. I would be willing to pay $9/mo for an always on instance but if the billing increments are a minimum of one hour for new instances then it's kind of unfair for low traffic sites that get sporadic bursts of traffic that are just enough to trigger one or two new instances - especially if they were written in Python and there is no multi-threading support. Also, the datastore latency is sometimes very long which would also punish single threaded apps under this new scheme. I suggest that the $9/mo should cover three instances. thanks, - Claude -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
