I remember some talks that, google is going for instance-hour for better predictability for resource allocation and revenue.
here are my free suggestions, that can make app engine looks bit good.... -- keep free quota but keep small amount for an app. i.e. 5$ per year per app. ( that way, you will get few tens millions or more ) .( perfectly predictable ). in return allow unlimited app and dynamically creating app through API. ( some of *per customer* separate app will see this as big advantage . ) -- match competition. aws and azure dropped incoming bandwidth cost. -- i think cpu going faster, memory and bandwidth going cheaper, give us continuous price reduction ( the older an app, cheaper the pricing, we are not junk that you can use to test your free platform and once it get mature, ask us to paid more.. ) and you are using us for creating platform of the future, so return it by giving some price reduction for older apps. -- make ssl on https ( seriously, what is taking so long, even if it is rocket science, you guys got smartest mind to do it ) free and also add mysql and make it free( of course regular charge for data, bandwidth, cpu applys...no separate billing for instance..). -- what is done inside your api and your back end datastore servers is not our concern. ( it is designed by you and if it uses separate query for list of key and fetching that entities by looping, its not my concern. combined them all in to one package. and add it in to datastore storage price. ). -- .....and I have read optimization article...one thing I would like to point out is, since it is confirm that a instance is not going to die in 15 minutes, there is a big chance that instance memory is going to be a killer feature for latency reduction. ( cache invalidation is problem, so give us "broadcast to all instance api". please. ) after all of above, I will not argue much about price. promise. and check: I have not said single word about outright price reduction. :P my 0.02 instance hour.
