Reducing Google App Engine High Replication Datastore prices by up to 25

Since its inception in 2011, Google App Engine High Replication Datastore (HRD) has grown and currently processes over 4.5 trillion transactions per month with 99.95% uptime. In addition, HRD serves as the basis of Google Cloud Datastore, which we announced last week at Google I/O.



We are always evaluating opportunities to create more value for you and today we are reducing Datastore prices by up to 25%. This price change impacts both App Engine HRD and Cloud Datastore.



Below is a breakdown of the new pricing:



Storage

Resource	Old Unit Cost	New Unit Cost
Stored Data (Datastore)	$0.24 / GB / Month	$0.18 / GB / Month

Operations

Operation	Old Cost	New Cost
