I don't know why people use gcp, I would like to hear some opinions.
The way I see it, if you don't mind price, you go with AWS (most polished). If you mind price gcp isn't really much cheaper, so you go with something actually cheap like OCI.
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoOCI as in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
- Terretta 4y agoYep, it's the deep-pocketed enterprise's Hetzner or DO. The sales slogan is something like, "All the costs of AWS, all the automation of a bare metal box!" Ironically, more suitable to manually point-and-click or phone-call managed "lift and shift" than the infra-as-code clouds.
- cypress66 4y agoOci is much, much cheaper than aws. Data transfer for example is 10x cheaper.
- dddw 4y agokubernetes is nicely integrated in GCP
- jiggawatts 4y agoAzure doesn't exist, apparently.
- falcolas 4y agoUsually, it’s because someone bought into GAE, and needed some flexibility for extensions to that app. Cynically, fairly typical vendor lock-in.
- dorgo 4y agoafaik there is no alternative to BigQuery on AWS? All alternatives are less managed and require more administration. But I never looked too closely.
- hodgesrm 4y agoSnowflake. It does not work internally the same way as BigQuery but is substantially equivalent in user-visible functionality.
