The difference in my estimation is: pricing based on per instance (what ever an instance is) and pricing per resource used, past the free tier. And auto scaling

The difference in my estimation is: pricing based on per instance (what ever an instance is) and pricing per resource used, past the free tier. And auto scaling. I could have been clearer, apologies.
Edit; further, in the original GAE pricing model, the customer paid for specific services, usually by volume. Maybe accounting was prohibitive?
- mietek 12y agoYou can do auto-scaling on OpenShift, as part of the platform, and on Heroku, with HireFire: http://hirefire.io http://hirefire.io
- nl 12y agoGAE still uses the same model - the prices just are more than they were previously. See my previous link and [1] for details. It even explicitly gives you an instance/hour cost (above the free quota). Plenty of PAASs do autoscaling. [1] https://cloud.google.com/appengine/pricing https://cloud.google.com/appengine/pricing
