I was thinking about giving a try with google app engine.
As such I was just reviewing the quotas/limitation the service has.
Although google states:
All applications can use up to 1 GB of storage and enough CPU and bandwidth to support an efficient app serving around 5 million page views a month, absolutely free.
The request quotas seem rather low, with only 1GB Outgoing bandwidth in the Requests limits is that enough?...or am I not interpreting correctly?
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Requests
739
General quota limits10 queries per second (QPS) per IP address. In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000.
Deployments. In each App Engine application, you can deploy up to 10,000 times per day.
You can request an increase to most quotas in the Google Cloud console.
This is a very late answer but I think you (did) misunderstand.
With App Engine you get 1 GB of free bandwidth per day. Meaning 30 GB free per month
With 30 GB of free bandwidth Google stats that you can serve "around 5 million page views a month".
Let's do the math:
30 GB = 31457280 KB
31457280 / 5000000 = 6.29 KB
To provide 5 million page view on 30 GB monthly your page will need to be as little as 6.29 KB.
Maybe Google was speaking about a small REST API compressed over gzip.
Or, maybe they tried to impress use with a big "5 million".
Average web page is around 1246 KB.
31457280 / 1246 = 25246
So on a average web server you will be able to provide 25246 page monthly (in the best case)
