google cloud seems like a repackaging of internal google services which is fine but most companies don't want to migrate existing code to google's homegrown tech. the story for running postgres, oracle, mssql, spark, hadoop, kafka, etc on google cloud is vastly inferior to the same on aws where they either offer it as a managed service or someone else has done and documented the work required to do it
- wstrange 10y agoGoogle offers managed service variants comparable to most of those AWS services. For example - Cloud SQL. How are these anymore "home grown" than the AWS equivalents?
- querulous 10y agocalling cloud sql comparable to aws rds is exactly what i mean cloud sql offers a single version of mysql aws rds has multiple versions of postgres, mysql, oracle, mssql and aurora
