Google doesn't care about you or whatever you're building, unless you are building something that might threaten them. You would be well-advised to reciprocate

Google doesn't care about you or whatever you're building, unless you are building something that might threaten them.
You would be well-advised to reciprocate. To the extent that third-party services are essential to your survival, making efforts to bring it in-house, get long-term contracts, have backup providers, etc. is simply prudent.
Dependency is control. If you build your business in someone else's sandbox, it shouldn't be a surprise that they can hurt you at their whim, and absolutely will do so if they can make a buck.
- vocatus_gate 8y agoThis is why I oppose "cloud services" at all points unless it's absolutely something we can't do ourselves. The second you start relying on another business for a critical service, you've ceded control of your operation. In house is more work, but worth it in the long run. Someone you pay to care about your stuff will never care about it as much as someone who works and maintains it themselves.
