thanks, but no thanks. I spent a month building integration with google hangouts, only to see it being deprecated before we could even launch. wasted months fighting with undocumented drive realtime API issues to make it work seamlessly and it was pulled last year without replacement. drive v3 api still does not have ETAG conditional uploads that drive v2 had. never biting that google bait and switch thing with apis again.

This is the reason I will not recommend Google Cloud to any of my clients. I just can't rely on them

  Google Cloud has a very different SLA and deprecation policy than the APIs for Google user-facing services. I have not seen a single feature deprecated or removed without replacement in Google Cloud during my usage over the last two years.

this ^ i am having a hard time seeing myself using anything that google puts out. i have been burned way to many times. the biggest ones? google reader, code and inbox (happening now). sorry but it’s really hard to bet the farm on otherwise cool technology
