Is anyone actually using compute engine here? Would be interested in your experiences. The scalr reference point sounds like payola to me.

I'm using it (and I have seen similar results consistently to scalr's), but I also work for Google (and my load is a minecraft server, not a business), so I guess my opinion is biased.

Here's another review though: http://www.stackdriver.com/gce-cassandra/
