To me, GCP does seem easier to use, but I've recently had some instances where I had externally-hosted services (Zaps) make calls to my cloud functions there and inexplicably fail, with no logs whatsoever. While I was trying to figure out what went wrong, I found some other people online who said that their Google rep had mentioned "service instability" or something of the sort to them. Thinking that must've been the case, I went to reach out to GCP support (as nothing was mentioned on their outages page), only to find that it costs $30 / month to get help with anything other than issues with billing (and their pricing page threatens to ban you from support access entirely if you are caught buying it and canceling it after use).
