Hi everyone

I recently noticed a bump in costs after improving the static image quality 
of my app, this bumped the daily bandwidth costs from ~7$'s to 20$+'s

Overall there are ~200 statically served images, I tried reducing the 
quality of png's and turning them into jpg's, yet it degrades the image 
quality, at the same level of quality, the size of the jpg's are identical 
to the png's, so, as it is, paying the extra costs seem to be one option

I'm also wondering whether there is an easier solution out there, maybe 
using pagespeed as a CDN/cache with an easy config change, but as far as 
I've researched, it didn't seem feasible/simple

Setting up cloudflare for a subset of the traffic is another option, but 
I'm not sure whether cloudflare can reliably serve all those images

I checked some other CDN's / cloud solutions, they all seemed close to 
AppEngine's pricing, CloudFront for 
example: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ ~30% lower

As it is, App Engine serves images well, yet the bandwidth costs are higher 
than the instance hour costs, so I would like to reduce the bandwidth cost 
if there is a simple solution out there that I'm missing

(My default_expiration is "1h", I've also verified the "expires" header, 
yet probably the consumer of the images doesn't cache them, I really wish 
the issue was caching, but it doesn't seem the issue can be solved by 
modifying the http caching)
