Hello @community. I am currently evaluating Heroku and GAE for a new service (based on Python and Django) that I'd like to offer my clients. In all honesty, I'd like to take GAE over Heroku for a few reasons (Safe Harbor certified [important!], localized CDN [nice to have], ..., Guido van Rossums works there [:-)] ) but the cost structure is a lot less friendly to work with and predict, unfortunately.
Based on what I've read, it is not possible to limit the number of instances that the scheduler can fire up to deal with the amount of traffic? Is this true or has this been fixed? Or has a workaround been found yet that works reliably? Is there any other way to limit the amount of costs that a single app can cause? This is rather important since clients prefer hard facts and prices instead of "well... could be a few cents to a few hundred bucks a month". :) Last but not least: How does the performance of one GAE frontend instance compare to a Heroku dyno? Has anyone made any tests so far or can point me to a good benchmark somewhere? That would be quite interesting... Thanks so much in advance for taking the time. So long, matthias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
