Upon first read I actually had the same thoughts as many and applied them to the google services as well as the application itself. However on reflection, yeah the services google provided were pretty impressive, especially after re-reading the following:
"Google CRE worked hand-in-hand with Niantic to review every part of their architecture, tapping the expertise of core Google Cloud engineers and product managers"
Architecture analysis may or may not be standard (I don't actually know since I've never had to deal with something like this) but that sounds great to me.

I'm also guessing Google had a vested interest to help Pokemon Go do an analysis of their architecture. Doing so could help find any inefficiencies to lighten the load on their cloud servers.
- CobrastanJorji 10y agoOne of the nice things about cloud in general is that it's self-serve for small customers (enter credit card info, a few seconds later you have some computers in the cloud), but as you scale up and start paying millions of dollars per month and sign up for the "Platinum" or "Enterprise" or "Premier" plans, software engineers start showing up at your door to help you design, launch, and fix your service. I've seen this with Google and Amazon, and I imagine it's probably also true for the other providers.
