Google App Engine is now open everyone who wants account, and apparently there are 80,000 people waiting to sign up, wow! This was announced officially and at Google I/O this week. They've announced upcoming pricing for extra computing power. So head on over and check it out. For more info about App Engine check out my previous post and interview with Dion Almaer from Google.

Other than being open to all they've hinted at some pricing terms once you exceed the limits of the free account. It seems quite reasonable to me.

App Engine will always be free to get started, and we plan on enabling developers to purchase more computing resources sometime this year. Although we're not ready to offer this ability now, we've been asked by many developers to provide some insight into how we'll be pricing App Engine usage for applications that have exceeded the free quota of 500 MB of storage and around 5M pageviews per month. We'd like to be transparent about this, and have announced today that developers can expect to pay:

* $0.10 - $0.12 per CPU core-hour
* $0.15 - $0.18 per GB-month of storage
* $0.11 - $0.13 per GB outgoing bandwidth
* $0.09 - $0.11 per GB incoming bandwidth

I'll be meeting up with Dion again for Adobe OnAIR Tour in Europe next week so hopefully I can get some more info and a demo for InsideRIA. Any burning questions you'd like me to ask him?

Does this still support only Python? How easy would it be to use up the 500MB storage?

I think that when we're talking about pricing being announced for ediets reviews, I think that it deserves more attention.

The price is the most important part, because that's what decides if I buy it or not. Sam at best chest workout

Price is very important you have to find which one will profit the most. Jana at jump manual review.

Thanks for the information - luckily I only really know how to code really well with python anyway, so its good that python is supported. The prices seem rather fair to me, I like that google is a company that keeps things fair and doesn't try and cash in at every opportunity.

Thanks :)
