I use GAE for a lot of projects that I've worked on (getcloak.com, walkscore.com, wherebe.us) and the pricing changes are going to hit me hard. I've been a strong GAE proponent since the very early days [1]; GAE's sudden price announcement has made me question my belief in PaaS. Perhaps IaaS really is the level to build on: unless you're using bespoke stuff like AWS auto-scaling you can plausibly keep your infrastructure code "on the outside" of the service itself. -- [1] Here's my talk at I/O 2009, when App Engine was young! http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/AppEngineNittyGritty.html http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/AppEngineNitty...
