At LogRocket (https://logrocket.com https://logrocket.com) we've been on GCP for ~2 years and have been extremely satisfied. Some reasons in particular:
- "Infinitely scalable" services like Bigtable and Cloud Pub/Sub have helped us scale extremely quickly to support large clients.
- The durability of Cloud Pub/Sub was particularly important early on as it served as a fail safe when our consumers would go down
- Aggressive discounts for committed use. For our particular workload we've calculated AWS could be as much as 10% more expensive
- Dashboard developer experience and UX is more approachable than AWS
- ZeroCool2u 9y agoAfter I graduated in December, I was hired as a consultant for the company I was interning with on and off the past couple years. I was tasked with automating and migrating as much of our workflow as possible onto a hosted solution. After trying out AWS and GCP, we settled on GCP for a few reasons in addition to what benthehenten outlined. - Development experience is great, docs are on point. - BigQuery is fantastic. It let me seamlessly hand off an interface to a full time employee that had experience with SQL without the overhead of them having to learn a whole lot more. - Custom VM's provide us with the flexibility to get exactly what we need to run our workloads, no more, no less. - TPU's though not generally available at the time, were something we knew we'd want to take advantage of in the future. Because we're a TensorFlow shop, it just made sense.
