Doe anyone remember the excitement and promise around Google App engine when it was first announced, and before they changed the pricing model to per instance? The ability to put your app on the cloud, and scale up to the free tier, then out from the free tier on a paid plan if that's what you needed.

That model entirely disappeared. I miss it. Is anyone doing that now?

Just about every PAAS (including AppEngine) does this[1][2][3][4]. What am I missing?
