After years of using all the major clouds - Google Cloud has the best performance and primitives, but the worst support and operational/business features. If you want the fastest VMs/storage/networking, and are fine with non-standard APIs and beta SDKs, then it's a great platform and has super simple billing.

AWS and Azure are much better suited for most companies and startups though in terms of actually getting your business running with standard tooling, large ecosystems, and a massive portfolio of services.

Funny, I had the exact opposite experience when it comes to APIs. Doesn't AWS have a PM for every product with different API each time? Tried to build something like a terraform using boto only to give up after dealing with inconsistent APIs for about 2 weeks.

It's probably AWS Fargate, part of the Elastic Container Service. But even then, it's still now a vendor lockin of the past, if you got your services deployable via containers you're 90% there to running your own Kubes cluster to launch them.
