They don't have a great story around extensions - the ones they do have are unsupported/buggy. For example, PostGIS is missing "ST_FromGeoJSON" because it was compiled with the wrong flag - and has been this way for over a year despite hundreds of user complaints.

This is what I expect from Google. They are not customer-centric and no-one is really prioritising or cares about customer feedback.

    They're all the same quality. Sometimes great, sometimes terrible, but will get the job done as long as you put in the effort. Also bigger customers will obviously get more. GCP does win on pricing now with role-based support that is a flat rate per user: https://cloud.google.com/support/role-based/ https://cloud.google.com/support/role-based/

As someone who was migrating from on-premises to gcp, and who needs extensive postgis support, this information is a deal breaker for me. Is there any place I can find more information about postgis and other extensions status? Are you aware of any other bug related to postgis? Thanks a lot for the information
