my biggest cost savings so far have unfortunately come from moving chunks over to Amazon S3 and EC2. i love App Engine and want to keep as much as i can on it but the pricing changes have been a real bummer. the easiest wins were moving all static content to S3 so i don't have to pay for GAE instances to serve those and eliminating use of Channels in favor of socket.io on EC2.
