Google, What are you doing? From the outside it looks like your team has no experience in how to deliver, market and sell a product.
1. You *know *that people will start screaming if their pricing is raising from 300$ to 3000$. 2. You *know *that beforehand by analyzing the effect of new pricing on your existing customers. 3. You *know *that people will leave because of this reason. 4. You *know *that people are making business plans with GAE, they will move with these numbers. So why? Why didn't you contact them before, assisting them to make their app efficient and tuning your own model? If the community knows that there are large apps running on the cloud at a cost efficient plan, then it gives them *faith* to tune their own app. Suggestion: - Put the python users on the old pricing model until 2.7 is ready. - Contact all your 300$ -> 3000$ customers today! - Make a new community group and add select 20 of these large customers, work with them closely to optimize your pricing model and their application. Make the progress visible in this new group. - Do not enable the new pricing model until 70% of these selected customers are reasonable happy. Your product has a lot of potential, don't mess it up, due bad management. Any additional feedback is welcome. -Wendel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
