People are confusing new versions of things, or new APIs, or new products, or not recommenced anymore, with actually removing products. From this thread people are complaining about: - Datastore -> Firestore in Datastore Mode: This was a seamless transition with no API change, Google changed the underlying tech. - Firebase -> Firestore: Never happened. They are different products. The Firebase Realtime Database still exists. - gcloud CLI updates: It is a CLI tool, it gets new versions. - App Engine with Python 2.7: It still exists, you can still use it. There is a new App Engine v2 that supports Python 3. - Cloud SQL v1 to v2: They had a tool to automatically upgrade, it set up replication and switched over. AWS has new versions too. RDS Aurora v1 (MySQL 5.6) can't be upgraded in-place to RDS Aurora v2 (MySQL 5.7)[1]. AWS Lambda runtimes get deprecated[2].
