I'm tired of reading the same thing over and over where people prognosticate based on poor readings of events and I think people should put there money where their mouth is.
I really do not think the chance of GCP discontinuing a core service is high enough to warrant the level of comments this gets and if I find myself constantly reading these comments, maybe I can at least be compensated by people making bad bets or maybe people will admit the chance is really low.
So if you are so worried about this, please give me a number that represents how worried you are about this.
- snoman 3y agoNonzero is enough to choose an alternative.
- Eridrus 3y agoLol, ok man, sounds like you're real good at making rational choices. I'm sure there's exactly zero chance AWS or Azure will ever have any problems.
- redditor98654 3y agoDo you not consider Google Cloud IOT an important service?
- Eridrus 3y agoIt is not a core cloud service, it is a service for a niche industry that never met the hype it had and probably didn't get many customers. I don't think discontinuing cloud iot provides any indication that compute engine is going away. AFAICT cloud iot core was hosted mqtt, which is a thing others offer and you can transition relatively easily. I don't think the shutdown of it was catastrophic for any companies; the quotes I saw in articles were of the sort "yeah, that's annoying, but it shouldn't be hard to migrate to something else".
