Ask HN: Still considering Google App Engine?

from the ask-hn dept.

Are startups/small companies/indie developers still considering app engine? It seems when they meant auto scaling, it included the price as well.

I am still working on GAE apps. Yes the price is steeper than expected but it suits the stuff I am working on. So, right tools for the right jobs -- and I don't see gae being the wrong tool for everything, yet.

I'm not sure I see the cost/benefit in it anymore. It was questionable to begin with and has only become more so.

There is no shortage of good options out there.

There is no real need to use app engine anymore.

Just use Heroku with MongoDB for Ruby On Rails deployment. :)
