This convinced me to use AppEngine for a tiny little project I've been thinking of this past week. It'd be useful to me, probably others, but knowing that I wou

    I really wish they'd show me what I can run on Koi (links to current sites). I know they make deployment a snap, but I worry that I'd be forced to add more and more resources to keep my site running as I'd hope.

      The only difference between Blossom and Koi is the size of the database. The only way to improve performance is to increase the number of dynos or workers you use.

        This is actually possible to do dynamically[1] so you can keep your costs down. I found this post last week and implemented it over the weekend, and it's pretty neat to watch it work. So far I've only implemented this for workers, but it's certainly possible[2] to implement it for dynos.

    Interesting, I didn't know they had a free plan. (never looked into it that much) 5MB of DB and 1 "dyno" would be plenty for what I have in mind (let's be honest: 1kB would be sufficient :)), so I'll definitely keep it in mind as well. But now the eternal question for me comes back again: Ruby or Python... Thanks for pointing it out to me!
