Kind of related to this, but these types of outages are why I moved from Google Play to Spotify for streaming music. Their infrastructure seems so large that things that should be a standalone service, like streaming music, are bound to be collateral damage when they mess something up on another service. Having everything provided by one company is convenient until it all goes down at the same time and you can't access your email, videos, or music because they all run on the same infrastructure.

- crusader76 7y agoI think the point OP was trying to make was relating to google services and their dependencies on each other.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoI have the opposite conclusion as OP. Google doesn't use Google Cloud for anything critical, so I wouldn't use Google Cloud for anything critical or services that run on Google Cloud for that matter.

- cbhl 7y agoIn my personal opinion, you should move off of Google Play Music, but not because of the dependency on Google infrastructure. https://9to5google.com/2018/05/23/google-play-youtube-music-2019/ https://9to5google.com/2018/05/23/google-play-youtube-music-... https://www.digitaltrends.com/music/what-happens-to-google-play-music-youtube-music/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/music/what-happens-to-google-p...
