Dear Google,
I love Google App Engine, but right now I am at a loss for what to do.
My current billing is $4.98/day. Under the new system it is $34.41/
day, and that is with the 50% frontend discount. The effort that would
be involved in porting my app to a different architecture is far
beyond what I could accomplish in the next few weeks, and to be honest
I don't want to move off of App Engine. I like not having to deal with
Sys Admin stuff.
I have to imagine that Google did not intentionally raise my serving
rates by 700%, so that must mean I am doing something wrong in my code/
design, however I don't know how to fix these problems currently. I
have already done a lot of work in the past to memcache things and do
multiple gets and puts in a single call, and most of my apps time is
spent handling tasks. So I have already done a lot of what is
recommended in the managing resources guide.
In addition I don't understand how my app says it has 1.05 million
reads and 12.3 million writes per day when I look at Appstats and see
that I have at least 3 datastore gets for every one datastore put and
that's not count next and runquery.
Thanks,
Mike
