How much daily budget should I set to prepare for possible slashdot
effect? I know this is a general question. I have a basic site with
datastore read/writes, datastore blob read/writes and just some
loading of static files (gwt).
What are some of your daily budgets your company has set aside? Have
you ever reached your limits? Thanks.

good question, i'm curious as well! i think most should scale
sublinear since you'll get better cache rates with huge influx of
visitors. i have a $100/day set at the moment.

It depends on how much traffic you expect to be sent. My gut feeling tells me Slashdot doesn't bomb sites as much as it used to. I had a blog post I wrote get on the first page of Hacker News which resulted in 3500 pageviews in a short period of time (my blog is hosted on Wordpress). 3500 pageviews isn't going to take a mostly static site down.
Are you expecting a marketing push? Gaming Digg? We need more details!

Is GWT java?
Anyway, GAE was really cheap, you could handle that kind of burst with 10s of $s
But now you buy instances
Depending on your app-concurrency, app-performance, and instance settings the price changes
You should enable concurrency, keep your app lightweight and keep your idle instances low, that way you may pull it off with ~$100
My limit is 1500, with a huge amount of traffic (huge is relative) I pull it off with ~70$ daily
I wish I reach my limit one day, but in a good way

Slash dot will send all its traffic to one page. If you have followed my Guidelines for Cache headers. $2.50 above your regular budget will do you just fine.
