AWS and GCP are both much better.
Gee, I've been seriously exploring GCP and picked it over AWS. This is terrifying.
GCP support is a joke compared to AWS.
People only put up with GCP because AWS is owned by Amazon, a notoriously ruthless company. AWS is better from the perspectives of API stability, customer support, and third party support, aka the primary things cloud customers care about. Now that Microsoft has Azure, they are going to crush GCP into the ground and there is nothing Google can do to stop it even though Google invented most modern cloud technology.
I've tried both AWS and GCP (as well as several smaller VPS providers), and I definitely preferred working with GCP. AWS has plenty of features, but it all gets bewildering at times, whereas GCP seems to have a much more nicely presented UI.But I have $15,000 in AWS credits from Stripe's Atlas program, and that was enough to make me reluctantly migrate from GCP to AWS. It means I can do things the "right way" instead of the "cheap way".It's unfortunate Go
Appreciate the thoughtful reply and summary of experiences with GCP vs AWS.
so it seems in general you like GCP more than AWS? What is your opinion?
Have you seen GCP's docs? They're far worse than AWS'.
oh neat, AWS following GCP instead of the other way around.
I won’t touch GCP, even after they gave us 2k credits. Their customer service reps have “well that’s just too bad” on the tip of their tongue. AWS is #1 for good reason
