But it wouldn't need 150 GAE front end instances. Those VPS's are having to emulate all the parts of the AppEngine Stack. You wouldnt need to dedicate any instances, to be a load balancer (comes free with AppEngine). Wouldnt need any for memcache (again there is a free version). Wouldn't need any to run couchdb (have the datastore). None to run ElasticSearch (have the Search API). WOuldnt need any logging servers (have the Logs API). Wouldnt need any management nodes (appengine.google.com). Wouldn't need to keep any warm spares (they always available). etc. So you might be able run the same application with say 20 'normal' F1 instances. Plucking arbitary numbers of the air here, but the point is you need to consider a lot more variables. Its not as clear cut as you make it out to be. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
