Yesterday I’ve been to a meetup in San Francisco with some Google engineers working on App Engine. We’ve been mostly chatting about the upcoming new pricing scheme, which is causing a considerable amount of frustration in the GAE community. Not surprising, considering how 1) the pricing model has fundamentally changed 2) people can expect to pay significantly more. The reasoning is that Google wants to find a sustainable business model for App Engine. Previously the pricing was clearly “strategic”, now Google seems to be focused on building a better business as also evidenced by the recent project cleanups. While that’s all well, I feel Google has made a few mistakes here.

(If you’re not familiar with the topic, go ahead and watch it, I’ll wait 9 minutes).
