Google said on Tuesday that Google App Engine would
offer additional computing resources for developers this
year and announced pricing for the service.
Developers using Google App Engine, which lets outsiders
build Web applications on the same infrastructure that
runs Google's own applications, will have a free quota
of 500MB of storage and enough computing power and
bandwidth for about 5 million pageviews per month.
"After years of competition among platforms, the web has
won because it's open, because it's ubiquitous, and
because there's a passionate community working together
to move it forward," said Vic Gundotra, vice president
of engineering for developer products at Google.
"Openness is great for developers and for users because
it knocks down hurdles to building great applications,
and because it speeds the next wave of innovation by
letting good ideas be shared. The web doesn't depend on
any one API or tool or product, from Google or anyone
else. What makes the real difference is the aggregate
effect of us all working together, with open standards
and open source."
The product will be free to get started, and in the
current preview release apps will continue to be
restricted to that free quota. Later this year, once the
preview period has ended, developers can expect to pay:
- Free quota to get started: 500MB storage and enough
CPU and bandwidth for about 5 million pageviews per
month
- $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
Google App Engine will provide two new APIs in the
coming weeks. The image-manipulation API enables
developers to scale, rotate, and crop images on the
server, and the memcache API is a high-performance
caching layer designed to make page rendering faster for
developers.
