Can we still use free edition of GAE after price changes?

[Caglar Cataloglu]

Hello Everyone;

Me and my friends are developing a website using GAE free edition. Do we need to pay anything after the new price policy comes alive

yes you can but the free quota is much lower than before so you will reach the limit much quicker...
but anyway, there is still the free edition!

I would say the free quota were really generous before and that's certainly the problem now that the pricing has become official...
I can't (or wouldn't) say yet if the new quotas are no more generous at all or if they are just normal with respect to the other competitors. But it's a fact that now you must take care a bit more about what you do...

anyway, this pricing modification arises lots of questions about its consequences on many aspects... let's see what happens next!

Yes, you can easily do this.

In the control panel under application settings.

Set the "Max Idle Instances" to 1.
Set the "Min Pending Latency" to 15s.

A timeout may occur but this rarely happens.

If you are using the task queue, make sure there is enough time in between (200ms), to avoid an over-flood.

Keep in mind that the service is not free. The ones using billed quota are as well paying for the free quota users.
More free users == higher billing.
Less free users == lower billing.
