[google-appengine] Re: Does 1 service = 1 instance (thus potentially cost more)?

Just to add to that: some reasons to use multiple services regardless if you want to structure your app as microservices or not: - on GAE standard instance types and scaling mechanisms are tied together. So if you need F instance types for some part of the workload and B types for some other

I would like to add that here you can find how instances are managed in App Engine and how you are billed

If it’s a large & complex app - it might make sense to split some parts of its code into separate logical services. And yeah, a smaller app probably would load a lot faster than a complex one so I don’t think that would have anything to do with bandwidth costs but would definitely help with

Thank you for your answer - can I ask what the advantages of multiple services app are on a single service (default) app? Perhaps if a particular service is requested multiple times, and that service is significantly smaller that a single service app, it may be cheaper due to smaller bandwidth

Your app isn't limited by one instance whether you have one or more services up (i.e. the more traffic you get - the more instances wil be fired up even if you only have one service). Anyways, yes, you are correct - adding additional services will require new / separate instances to be running
