Google Cloud is not an alternative, but a much better option. If you have pains with AWS or want a better version of Cloud (ease of use, performance, scalability), give Google Cloud a try.

They seem to be using Google Cloud and Java ( https://www.nianticlabs.com/jobs/ ). My best guess is that they are using Google App Engine.

Pub/Sub at glance may look like that. But having used all the three queuing systems from AWS (sqs, kinesis streams, kinesis firehouse), Pub/Sub is far more advanced than all the three put together. It can scale instantly to millio

rajeevk, I can not reply to your comment, so posting here. Just take a look at my comments on hn. I compared Aws and Google cloud in terms of ease of use, pricing, open source friendliness, scalability, security, performance etc .. You can

Google Cloud is by far the best Cloud. Beats Aws and other cloud providers by miles margin. Also keeping in mind that a service that just entered beta is the fastest by itself is impressive. I would say, let's wait a while before comme

Yep, that's true. Capacity planning and reserving capacity should be taken care by the Cloud provider and users should be free to spin up and down the resources as and when they need them.

I find Google Cloud miles ahead of AWS. AWS does not play well with open source services. Google on other hand embraces OpenSources (Google OpenSourced Kubernetes, Dataflow, TensorFlow, MagLev the load balancer, integration with OpenStack .

Yes, Google Cloud offers IAM. I find it easier to use than AWS IAM. Google Cloud IAM gives you curated roles, hierarchy of resources and thus is easier to use. Yes, Google Cloud can manage secrets for you. For example, you can spin up an in

Google Network and SSDs offer an order of magnitude more performance / price. Disks and Storage are about 2 times fast. Booting is 5 times fast. Not just the performance, all Google Cloud services are fully managed (Think of S3 and Lam

GCE is less expensive than AWS even with AWS's long-term contracts. If you pay money upfront (losing the interest) and reserve instances for 3 years, then you can beat GCE prices by a small margin. But, if you take into consideration o

I can clearly Google Cloud winning the Cloud industry. It's only a matter of time and not a matter of if. Cases like this and Spotify, will make the shift happen sooner than rather.

This move will be a "GAME CHANGER" for the Cloud industry.

I see a constant flux of features, but the whole Google Cloud ecosystem is well thought of and coherent as if the ease of use is primary thing. App Engine, after 8 years, is still as easy to use as the day it was released.

Google’s network is so fast, however, that this kind of multi-cloud might just be possible. To illustrate the difference in speeds, we ran a bandwidth benchmark in which we copied a single, 500 Mb file between two regions. It took 242 secon

1. For micro-instance and 32 core instance, the difference AWS and Google is not a big deal. For rest of the instances, Google Cloud is 4 - 7 times faster. That's not a "synthetic" benchmark. 2. Yes, everyone should automate
