App Engine Pricing
February 27, 2009
In the midst of the Gfail, er, Gmail, event, I almost missed the ComputerWorld story “Google Sets Billing Rates for App Engine” here. Google seems to be pushing forward with its cloud based services. Assume that these services will work. Assume that your organization wants to use the Google App engine. According to Paul Krill’s write up:
On top of the free services, developers can pay 10 cents per CPU core hour for application processing, 10 cents per gigabyte of data transferred into the application, 12 cents per gigabyte of data transferred out of the application and 15 cents per gigabyte per month of storage. The storage capabilities cover static files served by the application as well as structured data using the Google Datastore API. In addition to the 2,000 e-mails a day that applications can send for free, Google will let applications send 10,000 e-mails per day for $1.
Pricing seems fair — if the service is reliable and includes provisions to avoid unilateral price boosts.
