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) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
