I don't use managed services, because I want portability, but you are right (and as I think I said upstream) K8S has made many of the issues in production moot.

I don't use managed services, because I want portability, but you are right (and as I think I said upstream) K8S has made many of the issues in production moot. You say that you find that prototyping is as easy with GCP as with AWS? Do you believe it is because you are familiar with GCP? Or do you believe that they are truly at par with prototyping productivity? (And yes - we've gone far afar of the upstream topic - but I do appreciate your feedback)

I dont know what you consider as prototyping, but yes they both can run a basic app with minimal effort. Look into AppEngine which is a few CLI commands for deploying. Same with Firebase which is widely considered a great mobile platform with everything you need. You can also use the Serverless.com framework to build apps on Cloud Functions, and they recently announced running any container in a serverless fashion (similar to Azure's ACI). If you still want to run servers, then they have the best VM platform around.
