Are people using GCP in their work? I keep hearing how great and easy it is to use. But no one in my network is using it. I'm not using it either. I'd love to see who's using it.
I use it for personal projects. Everything is better than AWS
GCP is on the next level.
GCP is our team tech stack backbone. Duhh overall very good. Well thought out and meant for engineering audience. Like how they do authentication roles. Main products like big query also cheaper than aws when you compare apples to apples is what people told me
What do you like about GCP roles? I work with AWS, so I'm just curious what's different about them.
Unless google starts pricing GCP at 1/4 of AWS, Amazon will remain king.
Trivial shit is easier in GCP. Personal project and prototyping: much easier. Enterprise level stuff is a nightmare.
why?
It’s impossible to manage and do governance at scale. Serious lack of features. AWS goes for complex as shit but possible/extensible with API. GCP demos well. Doesn’t work in practice. Things like global tables look cute at first... once you know what you’re doing for a financial institution... not so much. Azure is a much more serious competitor.
Like many mentioned here, Google stuff is cool to look at, prototype and all. But when it comes to running actual production workloads, it's shit. Availability story is poor too. AWS wins due to its reliability and 'just works' nature. And not to forget the mature support ecosystem of AWS.
There are many businesses using GCP. You can watch google cloud next 2019 on YouTube.
Yes in prod at customers for 5+ years. It’s fantastic for everything except Windows
Umm.. Google for sure
Funnily, not even Google. Google uses their own internal version of the stuff for themselves.
That's because the internal stuff existed first, and then GCP packaged that stuff up so it's easier to use and sold it externally.
