- Did GAE provide sufficient information that such a fundamental shift in the way apps are charged was a possibility, when folk signed up to GAE . Such detail may have influenced many folks switch to GAE in the first place. On May 14, 5:03 am, Kayode Odeyemi <[email protected]> wrote: > how does the instance work?
