GCP is behind. They're are behind in niche services to be fair but behind nonetheless. Nothing that prevents building similar services, but coming from AWS, I routinely feel frustrated by lack of finesse and comparable offerings. IMO, GCP's greatest benefits over AWS are:
* BigQuery
* Tighter k8s integration with GKE
* Single message service (PubSub)
Unless BigQuery is your first class citizen, I would avoid GCP.

- granzymes 6y agoThis is such an overblown talking point. If you sign a service contract with Google (which you will if you are spending any amount of serious money), then you will have a precisely defined guarantee that they will continue operating GCloud.
- namdnay 6y agoI doubt anyone’s service contract stipulates that Google will continue to invest heavily to keep feature parity with AWS and Azure for the next 20 years
- nullserver 6y agoBingo. I’ve had to move a companies entire platform multiple times because of similar issues. I want boring on infrastructure.
- gegtik 6y agoAWS has a trust problem - they have no qualms about observing that your product is valuable, cloning it, and leaving their 'customer' in the dust.
