How to Increase bandwith in Google Cloud - google-cloud-platform

I set up a website in google cloud with the basic level (or perhaps not basic but second level) of bandwidth which if I am not mistaken should allow for about 30,000. plus visits. Its been working ok for the last 8 days. This website is a news site so today they published something and their google stats read something on the order of 150,000 visits to this one article which crashed the site.
I do not know where to change this cnfiguration now. My question is where or how do I change the configuration to INCREASE bandwidth??? Thanks ! Much appreciated!

Trying to figure out Google Cloud Platform quota/ GSuite support

I am new to Google Cloud Platform. I built an app that uses Google Sheets. I have several scripts for the sheet.
I am having an error - invoking too many times. URLfetch error., so I know I am calling the url too many times. I need help:
How do I find out exactly how many url fetches I am calling.
If i need to add more calls, what Google suite subscription do I
need to get?
Thanks
Looks like you are developing Google Apps Script
You can check the quota limits of App Script in the link,
It also points out the quota of URL Fetch calls is 20,000 / day which you already knew.
To your question:
To my acknowledgment, there's no way to check how much daily quota has been used.
You can consider at least G Suite basic for 100,000 / day quota.
If you need more than 100,000 / day, you'll need at least G Suite Business to apply for Early Access flexible quota.

Getting 100K visitor per day on Blogger.com based site will be slow or Bandwidth disturb or site will be down?

I am planning to launch a blogging Site, only for blogging. So I don't need any funtionality in the site. That's why as a begineer I selected Blogger.com. I will post there Continusly and regularly. So before launch I have a Question, "If my Blog get 100K pageviews per day, Will it be Slow or Bandwidth problem? my site will be down?"
Well Blogger.com is ran by Google, so I don't expect it to have any trouble.

google prediction api pricing

For google prediction api in the documentation pages it'showing different quota limits in different places for 10$ plan.
In the above link its saying that the prediction limits are 10000/day
https://cloud.google.com/prediction/
whereas in the next link it's saying the limit is 10,000/month
https://cloud.google.com/prediction/pricing?csw=1
If there is anybody who has used this and could tell me which is the correct one I would really appreciate it.
I'd say it's a typo on the first link. 10K free per day seems way too high -
considering you need to contact Google if you're going to do more than 40K per day (see "Usage Limits).
For now, until a Googler can confirm, I'd go with per month i.e. https://cloud.google.com/prediction/pricing?csw=1

What is the best tool to use for real-time web statistics?

I operate a number of content websites that have several million user sessions and need a reliable way to monitor some real-time metrics on particular pieces of content (key metrics being: pageviews/unique pageviews over time, unique users, referrers).
The use case here is for the stats to be visible to authors/staff on the site, as well as to act as source data for real-time content popularity algorithms.
We already use Google Analytics, but this does not update quickly enough (4-24 hours depending on traffic volume). Google Analytics does offer a real-time reporting API, but this is currently in closed beta (I have requested access several times, but no joy yet).
New Relic appears to offer a few analytics products, but they are quite expensive ($149/500k pageviews - we have several times this).
Other answers I found on StackOverflow suggest building your own, but this was 3-5 years ago. Any ideas?
Heard some good things about Woopra and they offer 1.2m page views for the same price as Relic.

If that's too expensive then it's live loading your logs and using an elastic search service to read them to get he data you want but you will need access to your logs whilst they are being written to.
A service like Loggly might suit you which would enable you to "live tail" your logs (view whilst being written) but again there is a cost to that.
Failing that you could do something yourself or get someone on freelancer to knock something up for you enabling logs to be read and displayed in a format you recognise.
https://www.portent.com/blog/analytics/how-to-read-a-web-site-log-file.htm
If the metrics that you need to track are just limited to the ones that you have listed (Page Views, Unique Users, Referrers) you may think of collecting the logs of your web servers and using a log analyzer.
There are several free tools available on the Internet to get real-time statistics out of those logs.
Take a look at www.elastic.co, for example.
Hope this helps!
Google Analytics offers real time data viewing now, if that's what you want?
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1638635?hl=en
I believe their API is now released as we are now looking at incorporating this!
If you have access to web server logs then you can actually set up Elastic Search as a search engine and along with log parser as Logstash and Kibana as Front end tool for analyzing the data.
For more information: please go through the elastic search link.

As an experiment I want to work a bit with AWS. How much might I expect to pay?

I'm about to go to Pycon, and while I have my hosting at Webfaction one of the tutorials (JKM) asks for students to have AWS instances. I've been trying to figure out what some minimum charge examples might look like? I'll have a lamp server with Django and a requisite amount of storage but next to no traffic.
Anyone have some guidance/advice? My Google searches and look here did not turn up much useful info.
It depends on how long you need to run your instance. A small linux instance will cost 8.5 cents per hour. If you spend a week at Pycon and have your instance running the entire week, it would cost $14.28 for the week. You probably won't need it while you are asleep, so you can turn it off when you are done each day. If you only need it for an hour it will cost you 8.5 cents.
Here's more details on the pricing if you need a bigger server or you need a windows server instead:

I think the AWS calculator might help also for estimating cost.
See http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html
