Surely that is not that far fetched? Esp. if you only count the cost of the VPS itself, not the time to setup and maintain TyphoonAE running on that VPS (and maintaining the VPS itself) It's like just about anything, DIY can usually save money. But it takes time instead. But the real value of GAE, comes with scalablity. Take your installation and instantly scale it to 15 VPS's. How about 200 servers? Multi-terabyte datastore? Multi-datacenter replication and failover? Someone on call to deal with the sudden 'darkness' of large numbers of your machines disappearing. (all possible - but quickly gets non-trivial. particully if want to scale quickly) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
