Hello,
       Anyone have an idea on how to achieve a differentiated service with 
Google App Engine? I have two types of users. One is premium while another 
one is free user. I would like to set different minimum latencies for 
firing up new GAE instances between the two. In other words, I am willing 
to pay extra for the traffic generated from the premium users. Nonetheless, 
for the free users, I would prefer to pay at minimum or within the daily 
free quota provided by Google. In my case, I expect that the free users are 
able to tolerate higher latency than the premium ones. I believe that this 
case should be quite general and apply to many people.
       Assuming that I can identify types of users by the URLs they use or 
via other mechanisms. The only way I could think of is creating two 
separated applications and letting the premium users access the one that 
enables billing, while free users access the one that doesn't. However, my 
free and premium users need to share the datastore because they are also 
have to communicate within the application. Unfortunately, it seems that 
sharing a datastore across applications is not possible at the moment (feel 
free to correct me if I am wrong). 

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers,
Rerngvit
