Switched from Amazon to Google because I hate Amazon more than Google. Feature-wise, I'm just as happy. However, I trust Google more, but that probably boils to my hatred again. :)

I've done the same just with a different provider. And I see a trend, people go for the lesser evil out of the ones available.

Interesting that you trust Google more in this regard. Given Google's terrible history of deprecating products, I would not trust any "real world" business to any of their services. Also, at some point I was playing with Serverless in both Google and AWS. Google's Serverless examples were broken (Google cloud was returning 500 errors) while the same stuff in AWS worked smoothly. That left me with a bad taste.

At this point, I have 0 credibility in Google.

  > Interesting that you trust Google more in this regard. Given Google's terrible history of deprecating products, I would not trust any "real world" business to any of their services. That doesn't apply to me, because I have never used any of Google's deprecated products. I assume that's because they haven't (or have they?) deprecated any of their cloud services. > Also, at some point I was playing with Serverless in both Google and AWS.

I have used Google Cloud Run for more than a year now, and can't be more happy. Never had problems with AWS either, which means that there are at least two cloud providers providing the same-ish service that lots of people can enjoy.
