Yet, google continues to show it'll deprecate it's APIs, Services, and Functionality at the detriment of your own business. I'm not sure enterprises will trust Google's LLM over the alternatives. Too many have been burned throughout the years, including GCP customers.
The fact GCP needs to have this page, and these lists are not 100% comprehensive is telling enough.

Steve Yegge rightfully called this out, and yet no change has been made. https://medium.com/@steve.yegge/dear-google-cloud-your-deprecation-policy-is-killing-you-ee7525dc05dc https://medium.com/@steve.yegge/dear-google-cloud-your-depre...
- weatherlite 2y agoGCP grew 35% last quarter , just saying ...
- Jabbles 2y ago"just saying" things that are false. Google Cloud grew 35% year over year, when comparing the 3 months ending September 30th 2024 with 2023. https://abc.xyz/assets/94/93/52071fba4229a93331939f9bc31c/goog-10-q-q3-2024.pdf https://abc.xyz/assets/94/93/52071fba4229a93331939f9bc31c/go... page 12
- surajrmal 2y agoIsn't that the typical interpretation of what the parent comment said? How is it false?
- mattmerr 2y agoI read parent comment "grew 35% last quarter" as (income on 2024-09-30) is 1.35 * (income on 2024-07-01) The balance sheet shows (income on days from 2024-07-01 through 09-30) is 1.35 * (income on days from 2023-07-01 through 09-30) These are different because with heavily handwavey math the first is growing 35% in a single quarter and the second is growing 35% annually (by comparing like-for-like quarters)
- superq 2y ago35% over 12 months != 35% over 3 months.
- weatherlite 2y agoIn the financial industry you almost always compare over 12 months (year over year growth) to avoid noise like seasonality. It's so prevalent I didn't think I need to explain it but yeah I meant GCP grew 35% YOY.
- weatherlite 2y agoIt's indeed the typical interpretation of what I've said. I could have written YOY growth but it's so common that that's what everyone means people many times omit it.
- freedomben 2y agoGreat point, although 35% yoy is still impressive, and numbers they are surely pleased with
- bushbaba 2y agoAnd AWS + Azure are 4.5x the size of GCP. AWS alone is 2.6x the size of GCP. So your point?
- weatherlite 2y agoNot sure why you're comparing both AWS + Azure to GCP - did they become one company ? My point is GCP is growing very fast, AWS while being much bigger has slowed considerably to around 20% growth rate while GCP is at 35%. It has very good growth and many people seem to be adequately happy with it, in contrast to what many commenters here seem to think.
- bushbaba 2y agoAWS is 2.5x the size of gcp. In fact AWS is growing faster than GCP based off of gross revenue added over last 12 months. I used both azure and AWS to show that GCP has lost significant markshare because of its deprecation policy. Enterprises don’t trust GCP won’t deprecate their services.
- verdverm 2y agoAt least GCP makes them easy to find Some guy had to do it for Azure, then he went to work for them and it is now deprecated itself https://blog.tomkerkhove.be/2023/03/29/sunsetting-azure-deprecation-notices/ https://blog.tomkerkhove.be/2023/03/29/sunsetting-azure-depr...
