The biggest Problem I have with the Scheduler/GAE isn't GAE it is Google Bot.
Under the new model you are on the hook for 15 minutes of time for an instance that spins up. Google Bot can't be throttled on GAE. If you go in to WebMasters Tools you get a "Your site has been assigned a special crawl rate". This was my favorite feature when I was paying for CPU cycles, but now when Google bot shows up and makes upwards of 100k requests in 5 minutes every 6 hours, Google Bot will be accounting for about 85% of the cost of hosting on several of the sites that have less than $50 a month in hosting costs under the current plan, that will be paying about $400 a month to serve requests to Google come November Pricing. -Brandon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
