    Wow, the Channel API channel opening quota is now 100 for users? Is the hard cap even on billed usage lifted?

    There is a typo on the 'Managing Your App's Resources' optimization page. In the 'Managing Bandwidth' section, there is an extra c in 'Cacche-Control'.

    I'm confused by the new instance-hour pricing model. My free-to-users app is running six instances that are collectively using .09% CPU time and eightysomething MB of RAM. Right now they would cost 48 cents/hour, which could get me a lot of virtual-machine time elsewhere. I could use fewer instances if I tweaked the scheduling policy and used concurrent requests once my language supports them, but the point is that my current pattern would cost a lot without using much actual CPU and RAM in App Engine's clusters.

    Maybe processes are getting high guaranteed resources like a VM, so the price reflects the cost of a process to App Engine? Maybe there will be improvements that make processes as versatile as VMs, or you feel that they already are?

    I understand the need for a price increase in general -- App Engine needs to recover its costs and prices were low. It's the way usage is measured that has me confused, not the fact we'll be charged more for usage.

    Two quick questions:

    - When is it going to be out of "preview"? After Oct.?

    - Do I understand correctly that "Task vs. Backend" ends up in price & resource allocation?

    Thanks,

    Eli,

    Hi,
    Can you shed some light on whether SSL for custom domains will be enabled when you make the price change? Thanks!

    Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but how will this affect people just using google apps for things like it's mail service? Or is this completely unrelated and I'm being silly?

    I can say this, if something doesn't change. I'm leaving GAE.

    How do I report and request a takedown of a Google App used to spam web logs for fake referrals?

    Please provide a URL to such form.

    Thanks!

    ssl for custom domains?
    Will it be managed since you are going out of preview?

    I'm an programmer, One thing i HATE about cloud's in general is the fact that they are product/company specific. The fact that i cant take an application built for GAE and run it on my personal cluster or maybe amazon even rackspace
    annoys me quite the bit actually

    You could publish an SDK maybe an apache module/or simply an set of python classes

    that would replace all GAE specific API's with either public ones or local ones
    An call to the mail API turns into an call to the local mail on the server
    On the other hand an call to the image API turns into an remote call with API keys and everything


    I'm 16 by the way,And i'l have gotten a job with you by 20 i promise :)
