Appengine's whack pricing says: we'd like to kick you off appengine onto GCE but that would scare away all the enterprise users from GCE. If we announce regular Moore's Law following price cuts for GCE and nothing for appengine, well hey, we can't stop you leaving. We're totally not twisting you're arm! (aside: we are)

- cramsdale 10y agoI'm sorry, this simply does not make any sense. If you'd take the time to articulate a well-formed case, I will take the time to dig in. Thanks... -- Chris

- boulos 10y agoThe new Tesla Model 3 is cheaper than the Model S. Is that Tesla encouraging people to migrate to the Model 3? They're not the same product, and in this case they serve different points in the space with different underlying requirements. App Engine Standard's cost structure on the backend just hasn't changed nearly as much as compute engine's lately where it's a much more direct: oh look Haswell released, more cores per host at similar dollars yields less $$/core. Disclosure: I work on Cloud (Compute Engine mostly) and care a lot about our prices.
