Pick one...
- andypants 15y agoWell, they have said that this is the first and only price change to happen. They won't be increasing the price anymore after this.

- danssig 15y agoNever is a long time, no?
- chc 15y agoEh, if price is the largest factor in your decision, I would probably recommend Dreamhost over either of them. The real trouble is that GAE doesn't seem to offer a whole lot more than AWS.
- StavrosK 15y agoWell, except practically infinite, automatic scaling and zero administration.
- georgemcbay 15y agoI love the admin-free nature of GAE, that's why I started using it in the first place. "Infinite, automatic scaling" is a double-edged sword given the pricing model. Virtually anyone using GAE should be putting very finite caps on their resource usage lest they get a sudden spike of hn/reddit/whatever traffic that results in a usage bill that matches up with the "infinite" scaling GAE did for you.
- StavrosK 15y agoWell, in fact anyone should ensure a positive ROI for visits, otherwise no visit is cost-effective after the free tier. If you make more than you spend per visit, you don't need limits and the infinite scaling capability is a godsend.
- bojanbabic 15y agoI've ported part of app build on top of gae to amazon and face huge difference in billing structure. I've been paying whole gae $4/month, while aws charged 10x. After these changes ... I have no alternatives left ...
