<h3>Closing FanFicFare Web Service</h3>
|
|
<p>Starting Nov 30, Google will only allow me to update the web service if I give them a way to bill me for 'building' the app.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
And once they have a way to bill me, they will charge when the service
|
|
goes past the free limit unless manually turned off each time or more
|
|
draconian scaling settings are used:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>If you are currently relying on the free tier as a cost control
|
|
mechanism, you will need to make a configuration change to maintain
|
|
the current behavior. You must set a Cloud Budget Alert and manually
|
|
shut off your app, or set the max_instances setting to 1 in app.yaml
|
|
to never go above the free tier.</i>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
On Friday Nov 15, 2019, I uploaded the new version with the
|
|
<i>max_instances:1</i> setting recommended. The service has been 'Over
|
|
Quota' every time I've looked since then.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I maintain FanFicFare as a hobby and for my own use. When I inherited
|
|
the project from the original developer (Roman Kirillov), it already
|
|
had the web service running on Google App Engine associated with it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I continued to support the web service in recent years as a legacy for
|
|
the users who can't run the CLI or Calibre versions. But I'm not
|
|
interested in spending my money on it, or dealing with the accounting
|
|
and possible tax implications of collecting donations to run it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I plan to continue maintaining the Calibre Plugin and Python CLI
|
|
versions of FanFicFare. But at this point, I'm shutting down the web
|
|
service.
|
|
