Update - the site just fell over :(
I've activated billing in app engine but no idea how long it takes to come online. Really sorry guys - I assumed the free quotes would see me through! Hopefully it comes back soon.
edit - looks like the billing just kicked in... Phew. Sorry about that! looks like I caught it just about in time. If you saw the 404 page my apologies. I've loaded it up with credits so it should stay up now

- topcat31 16y agoHeh - indeed :)
- SkyMarshal 16y agoAppEngine claims to provide enough free bandwidth for ~5 million pageviews/month. Did you hit that limit from just this HN post?
- topcat31 16y agoI'm really new to this so not really sure. When you enable billing your free limits increase (weird I know) and I don't think I've actually incurred any costs as a result. I don't really know how well optimised my site is so it may be that it could scale up to those numbers if the back end was better? That said, all the limits are daily on app engine so maybe it was just that the spike was big enough to bust my daily limits?
- LiveTheDream 16y agoWill you share the traffic numbers to illuminate at what point the free-with-no-credit-card GAE quotas really kick in?
- topcat31 16y agoYep, sure will. I'm planning a follow up post when I get a chance
