See if you are writing in asp.net your app will be way slower, totally off setting the cost savings. GAE is cheaper because by forcing you to use an efficient language your app will cost fewer CPU cycles :-)

The new pricing sucks bigtime. If I'm going to pay these kinds of prices, I'd rather use AppHarbor/Azure/EC2 and write ASP.NET MVC :D On 1 Jun 2011, at 19:20, Anders <[email protected]> wrote: I'm still nervous about the new pricing model based on instances. One new app I have has had 3 instances running the last few days. With a 15 minutes minimum it means essentially 3 instances active 24/7 (the app has cron jobs running). That's two instances more than the free quota = 2* 0.08 * 24 * 30 = $115.2 per month. For one app! With very low traffic. Incredibly expensive.
