Thanks a lot for all your input I've cranked up the default_expiration to 60d, yet I doubt it will have any effect, unless there is a cut-off structure and 1h is below that cut-off, the majority of these images are consumed by an API which is pretty much a black-box
My monthly usage is around 6TB's, so cloud storage isn't worth the effort, app engine is 0.12/gb, while cloud storage becomes 0.11/gb as far as I see If all else fails, I will probably move the serving to AWS, as the 33% saves stack up to $2k+ in a year, or just degrade the images and reduce the user satisfaction, but the AWS option is obviously better ----- On the other hand, Cloudflare might reduce this cost to 0, but I'm not sure about the reliability, they don't advertise limits for their free CDN, there were also some App Engine incompatibilities in the past, their system might also block the API whose access is crucial -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
