Who would trust Google to build expensive products on their platform? I wouldn't be surprised if the prices change dramatically or they decide to discontinue the service. Worst decision you can make is to invest in cloud proprietary APIs/services(i.e Google Datastore/Firestore). You can put Google next to Facebook(with Parse or whatever "cloud" service they've been offering)
- javagram 8y agoGCP is 11 years old. It’s a paid service. Is there any reason to believe it would actually be deprecated? This doesn’t seem like a google reader or other free B2C product.
- mattigames 8y agoGoogle Fusion Tables [0] is B2B, its over 10 years old and it will be killed this December. Fabric is also B2B and 4 years old and will be killed in a couple of months. Source: https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/ [0] Google Fusion Tables was a web service for data management that provided a means for visualizing data in different charts, maps, and graphs. [1] Fabric was a platform that helped mobile teams build better apps, understand their users, and grow their business
- v7p1Qbt1im 8y agoOff the top of my head I‘d say you have Data Studio and Firebase now, which support all of those features and more. Or am I missing something?
- tpetry 8y agoYou missed the statement of FREE b2b product ;) Google is killing dozens of free products but not the ones you are paying for.
- agentdrtran 8y agoFusion Tables was never widely used and was always a beta product.
- xrd 8y agoFabric is just being migrated under Firebase, that's not really a fair comparison.
- dejaime 8y agoThe part about prices is true to any cloud provider. Amazon increased our prices by 170% over the years, same usage. I was not surprised when I saw big shots falling back to self hosting (like Dropbox from Amazon to own hardware).
- spullara 8y agoI have never seen them increase prices. Do you have a specific example of a service that has gotten more expensive?

- thefounder 8y agoAppengine could be a great example.
- spullara 8y agoThat is on Google. They mentioned that Amazon increased the price to run their application.
