Also justifying the price with the features of app engine is a horrible justification. App engine is a cloud; the whole idea of cloud computing is to save money by reducing idle server time. Every other PaaS does the same thing a lot cheaper. Lets look at Amazon's elastic beanstalk: Service and ResourceUnitCost BreakoutCostAmazon EC2 t1.micro instance1$0.02/hr * 24 hours * 30 days$14.40Elastic Load Balancer1$0.025/hr * 24 hours * 30 days$18.00Elastic Load Balancer Data Processing15GB$0.008/GB * 15GB$ 0.12Elastic Block Store volume8GB$0.10/GB * 8GB$ 0.80S3 Storage for WAR File and Access 1GB$0.14/1GB + $0.01 for<1k PUTs, <10k GETs$ 0.15Bandwidth In and Out15GBInbound is free, 15 GB out * $0.12$ 1.80 *Total Monthly Cost without Free Tier** $35.27* *Total Monthly Cost with Free Tier**$0*Way more free, way cheaper. Don't get me wrong I'm only ranting because I really want to be able to stick with app engine, but When its orders of magnitude more expensive, I just can't justify it :( What happened to not being evil?
