About the huge cost increase people mention in the comments: New cost unit is IH (Instance Hour) and GAE python scheduler has a habit of revving up new instances aggressively. To lower costs one needs to lower Max Idle Instances and -maybe depending on the situation- increase Min Pending Latency, thus lowering the Instance count (and the cost).
With the price increase and very harsh cut down on API free-quotas (plus the absence of long expected SSL on custom domains) GAE no longer seems a good option for me :/
- psm 15y agowe've cut the free quotas from super-generous to just generous. we're still the only large service offer generic platform free quota with no time limit. as for delay in SSL on custom domains, we're guilty as charged; we're not happy it's taking so long and we're working hard on it.
- angkec 15y agofrom super-generous to just generous can still be called "bait and switch".
- Greedy_Fools 15y agoGeneric platform? Who do you think is buying that?
- lukeinth 15y agoCosts for our app have just gone from $120 per month to $1200. Its a service we provide to users for free, we cant afford that level of hosting. That is a 10x price increase. How many biz can get away with that sort of hike? This and how Google treats Android developers (shutting down forum, not responding to issues) is making me question why I bother building anything for your platforms. I was on app engine from the start, I've sat though your DevFests, arranged hackathons, and told countless people they should use your platform. I've invested many hours learning your API. But this is it, its over, no more. Anything but a tiny free app is going to cost the earth, if you want to scale use AWS or Heroku. If you are an outside developer trusting Google it will cost you.
