AWS is stable. In that, the DX is predictable. I'm using AWS for over a decade and had huge gaps in between but coming back never was shocked or surprised by things totally reshuffled.
On GCP, not the same. The GCP console of around 2012 if memory serves me well, is barely recognizable. That just the UX and I'm sure APIs would have changed as well in the meantime.
The hip product management culture of Google is beyond me. Today's cloud console would be something else tomorrow and I'm sure some hip and smart PM is chalking that out on their Chromebook or something. Sorry for the stereotyping.
As of speaking to customers, I bet AWS (real people) directly, routinely reach out to even 2 person startups. I have experienced it myself. They really do care. Even I had multiple hour long calls with Azure representative for an account who's monthly spend was a joke.
On the other hand, good luck with getting anyone from Google on email let alone phone.
- andrewmutz 3y agoI've never had a problem getting meetings with GCP reps for both big company spend and tiny startup spend. If anything, they have been too eager to talk when I had nothing to discuss with them.
- wg0 3y agoGood to know that. I might be wrong on that account. But my complain about product stability and maturity remains and that's admittedly is subjective.
