App Engine Is Expensive??

Database & APIs

Hey community,

I'm reaching out to you because I need feedback from the people who know best... YOU!

I have an app in production with around 1,000 DAUs. We grew FAST in just a few days, but the cost of the App Engine on Google Cloud has skyrocketed—from about $0.01–$0.05 per day to $1.50 per day. I can afford this for now, but not for long.

I've been trying to figure out what might be causing the app to become so expensive on the App Engine, but I honestly have no idea where to start troubleshooting.

Could you share any ideas, insights, or feedback on how to approach this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

What have you tried so far?

I tried to reduce costs by changing the way my architecture works. Now, instead of having many small documents on Firebase, I store them in a single large document to reduce the number of reads. However, this might be what's driving up the App Engine costs—but I'm not sure.

Do you have any feedback or ideas on how I can address this?
