I do consulting on this. You are likely in the price range where you could benefit from it.
You should also check the archive for some of the optimizations I have talked about publicly. But if you want to hit me up off list, I can usually give you an estimate of how much reduction can be made just by looking at your Google Analytics, and a few hours of your apps logs. Most clients see a reduction of about 30% on an 8 Hour consult. During that consult we'd discuss code logic, your team would make the code changes. If my team makes the code changes it will cost a bit more. We have on rare instances seen up to 80% reductions in hosting costs, but 30% is very typical, and even companies that have done a lot of optimizations often are surprised to see 25%. If I can't fine enough to offset my consulting price in 90 days, I won't charge you for the consult. -Brandon Brandon Wirtz BlackWaterOps: President / Lead Mercenary Description: http://www.linkedin.com/img/signature/bg_slate_385x42.jpg Work: 510-992-6548 Toll Free: 866-400-4536 IM: [email protected] (Google Talk) Skype: drakegreene <http://www.blackwaterops.com/> BlackWater Ops From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrin von Rechenberg Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2011 7:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [google-appengine] Where to start optimizing cost? Hey there I'm an absolute GAE-Lover! The only thing that is bothering me is cost. We spend about $10'000 a month in GAE cost. That's just too much for the traffic we serve. We are starting to look around for alternatives, but I'd really love to stay with GAE and just optimize the system. One of GAE's biggest flaws IMHO is that it is really hard to see where the costs are coming from. (Yes we have appstats in place, but our system is just too big to manually sample hundreds of requests). So here is a feature request that might help us optimize and stay with GAE: Show cost per URI in the dashboard. That would be incredibly helpful. Does anyone know of an existing elegant way to figure out where the cost come from? (I'm looking more for a way to measure rather than software solutions like "use memcache"). I could do something with prodeagle.com and estimate the cost per request myself but I'd rather use an already existing solution...
