(http://readwrite.com/files/styles/800_450sc/public/fields/Google_1.jpg) Google is reducing Datastore prices by up to 25%, according to an announcement on their Cloud Platform Blog (http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/05/reducing-app-engine-datastore-pricing-by-up-to-25-percent.html). This price change impacts both App Engines HRD (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/overview) and the new Cloud Datastore (http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/05/get-started-with-google-cloud-datastore-nosql-database.html) introduced last week at I/O. The price decrease is sure to capture the attention of Amazon Web Services, perhaps even to the point of a small cloud price war.
