At certain point, I am not sure whether you are trolling or not. All I see is you kept repeating the AppEng marketing nonsense. A skilled engineer would know

  I'm definitely not trolling. I'm trying to have a conversation and understanding of your rationale for why GAE didn't work for you. So far, you've left me totally confused. I heartily agree with you about GAE being a niche. Not all apps (or developers) belong on GAE. I ask again, if GAE didn't work for you, where are you hosted now?

      Wow, you seem angry. Why do you keep replying and not answering the question?
      • ww520 15y ago
        You seem disappointed. Ask again.

          Now look who is trolling. First you respond with the now deleted statement, which I'll post back here: "ww520: You were not trying to have a conversation. You were trying to have a bragging session. I don't find it constructive to continue the "conversation." Then you come back and respond again? I'm so confused. Anyway, I'll consider this thread over, unless you actually want to have a real grown up conversation.

            It's funny to see a hotshot troll feinted confusion. It's even funnier to see a rude brat pretending to have a grown up conversation. If you want a grown up conversation, act like one first.

  We don't know your application, so of course we can't tell if you made poor design decisions or not. But have you considered that the poor match went both ways? Google said that they adjusted their prices because people were getting wrongly incentivized to do things that were expensive at their end. And the way free market is set up, pricing is one of the ways that signals are sent to tell customers that they should make different optimization decisions --- including, perhaps, switching to a different technology which is a better match for their requirements. Yes, that can be painful --- but it's the free market. You might as well complain that some silly folks moved to exburbs hours away from their work, and bought gas-guzzling SUV's, and then got upset when the price of gasoline went up to 3-4 dollars/gallon. Whose fault was that? OPEC? Or the consumer for choosing to live far away from work and to buy a car that had horrible mileage?

    Valid points except "people getting wrongly incentivized." People were rightly incentizivized to optimize their apps under Google's pricing guideline. It was Google who got it wrong to misalign its infrastructure cost and pricing, and unable to bring down their cost over the years. I don't think your gas example are relevant but if you want to stretch it, it just means Google like OPEC is not a trusted platform vendor.
