What’s the prospect there? Teams still expanding? Is google still making investment or just letting it lose out?

Joke aside, I think they have a harder time competing with AWS than MSFT. The latter has an enterprise customer base they can convert, I don't know what Google's strategy is. If they want to win on price, we are doing to see a price war like never before.
AWS definitely is great. But also remember that switching cost from one cloud provider to another is not that expensive. A lot of company use AWS and Azure at the same time.
It is not only about the underlying technology, Google can potentially offer something that is not available in AWS and may take many many years for AWS to build.
Yes AWS has a lot of features, but a lot of them is just putting open source code in the cloud. It will take time for people to catch up, but not much time.
It will be difficult for GCP to offer something new that couldn’t be delivered by AWS very quickly. To build something like that it would need to be some sort of primitive which as far as we’re aware, have already been built. Of course maybe there’s something no ones thought of yet but like I said it would be difficult not impossible.
The final thing is GCPs customer service blows. There are some very big spenders who have migrated away from GCP with the main initial reason being that they weren’t getting good support from google. This is just mind blowing to me as these are customers paying enough that you should build a team of 50+ just to support.
