Google App Engine Pricing for ODK Aggregate

I am going to conduct a survey where each record would take around 1 MB of
space (images etc).

Can someone tell what would Google approximate pricing for 15k records.

I would guess that would require more than about 20 GB of storage, at
$0.008 / GB-day, or less than $0.20 / day for storage.

Your biggest costs will be Datastore Read operations and Backend Instance
hours. These will vary depending upon site usage.

And it looks like we need to change ODK Aggregate to use less Backend
instance hours when idling, as that is the majority of our site charges
(for opendatakit.appspot.com) -- about $1.10 / day. I've opened this ticket
( http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=724 ) on this issue.

We typically incur about $0.13 / day for the Datastore Read operations.

You get 1 GB free from App Engine after that there is no maximum.
Therefore you will only need the minimum per week which I think is
$2.10.

I should add that the Backend Instance Hours are used when Exporting files
and when Publishing data to an external service (Google Spreadsheets,
Fusion Tables), so the less you do that, the lower those charges. There is
wild variation on opendatakit.appspot.com with those costs; Our weekly
costs are about $6 / week, so my earlier figure of $1.10 /day is overstated
-- we are actually incuring something like $0.70 / day on the Backend
Instance Hours -- still too high.
