I tested out Google App Engine 4 years ago and am coming back now to see if 
it is a possibility for another project I will be working on. I see the 
pricing for instances are still the same as they were 4 years ago:

This table summarizes the CPU, memory, and hourly billing rate of the 
various instance classes.
Instance ClassMemory LimitCPU LimitCost per Hour per Instance




F1 128 MB 600 Mhz $0.05
F2 256 MB 1.2 Ghz $0.10
F4 512 MB 2.4 Ghz $0.20
F4_1G 1024 MB 2.4 Ghz $0.30
When compared to Amazon's PaaS ElasticBeanstalk a 1 cpu 1GB instance costs 
$0.013 an hour which is almost 30 times cheaper than Google App Engine 
front end instances. I understand they offer different services, but as far 
as front end instances it is hard to see why in 2016 (Moore's Law) a 1gb 
GAE instance is still so expensive. Does Google have any plans to lower the 
costs of these instances in the very near future?
