Agreed. The scheduler is not reliable for pricing. And the pricing is based 
on instances being spawned. This is total non sense.

This is a personal message to the App Engine team: 
http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/sessions/fireside-chat-with-the-app-engine-team.html


At google there are Product Managers and Software Engineers and Directors. I 
bet the smart engineer coding the scheduler does not consult with the 
Product Manager who set the prices when talking to his director whose only 
goal is to make money.

So the lack of team cohesion is screwing us?

Please PM go talk to the engineer to get a reasonable scheduler out there, 
one that we developers can get control and rely on.

or

Please engineer, go talk to the PM and tell him that his MBA pricing method 
does not make any sense. He should go work at Mc Kinsey or Microsoft, but at 
Google we treat developers differently (at least you used to...)

or

Director, yes director, can you please get your PMs and Engineers to get 
their act together ?

If you expect us to pay you, you should do a better job as a team.
