I recently signed up for a trial and tried to use Google Cloud Platform. Oh my god the UI was amongst the worst I have ever experienced on the web.
Super slow and hard to navigate. Stupid "tutorial". I tried for a good two hours, tried to accept it but finally gave up on it.
Google, cut down on your Angular and material design kool aid and try harder next time.
- matt4077 10y agoI felt Google was much easier to get started in than AWS. And it's easy to forget that it's quite possibly the most complicated system most people who use it interact with. It probably has a few magnitudes more expressive power of a, say, a webpack+babel+package.config (yeah, hard to measure, I know). And that's a competition it easily wins.
- waprin 10y agoDeveloper Relations team exists so that doesn't happen so sorry to hear. Part of the problem is some of our feedback mechanisms need work. If you go to: cloud.google.com/python You'll see we have a lot of tutorials that link to Github repos . If you file issues there you are more likely to get help. The caveat is we are not a support team and have no guarantees (just a likelihood), so if you need paid support look into our options for that instead.
- brianwawok 10y agoHave you compared it to AWS?
- borplk 10y agoYes I have used AWS a lot and been happy with the UI, it gets the job done. Google Cloud Platform UI (and speed) was just actively hostile towards me. For example I went to the App Engine section to create a simple flask app. It keeps forcing you through a stupid tutorial trying to guide you around the site. Believe me being a developer myself I'm no stranger to web and its interfaces and can quickly navigate my way around this stuff but this had me hitting my head on the desk.
