Good lesson, I'd say. My experience designing big production systems - is not to rely on any third-party for your mission-critical core operation, even if it's harder, you have control. Google is actually devouring Internet as we speak, like a black hole: - email. Keeping your own server unblocked by Gmail is a loosing battle. I use iCloud, but it still goes through Google for my Gmail and G-Suite peers. - Search - monopoly. Analytics - monopoly. - Android. Try make a phone with open source Android without Google apps and licensing. - Companies and schools move all its people to G Suite (Google). Ten years later 'Internet' will be replaced by 'Google' in dictionaries, as it happened to 'googling'. GSP = Google Service Provider (former ISP), GETF = Google Engineering Task Force (former IETF) :)
