Google already measures your app memory use:


Charts [image: help]<http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html#charts>
Requests/SecondRequests by Type/SecondMilliseconds/RequestErrors/SecondBytes
Received/SecondBytes Sent/SecondCPU Seconds Used/SecondMilliseconds
Used/SecondNumber of Quota Denials/SecondInstancesMemory Usage (MB)
6 hrs
12 hrs
24 hrs
2 days
4 days
7 days
14 days
30 days
[image: Requests/Second (24 hrs)]

I'm glad im below the 128 Mb limit ;]

Once memory is billable, you gonna be sure that people actually try to make
good use of it. If you do instance price only who cares ?
As for debugging you might have point maybe google could provide the an app
stats API where the app could monitor its memory usage itself (or is there
already such a API) ?
