This. So. Much.

I can't explain just how much developing on GCP has helped me simply by having such amazing documentation. I don't think I appreciated how little I knew: every company where we worked with on premise/ internal services, we would have to use custom services built by others. With GCP, you have complete freedom, not just to design your application architecture from scratch, but to understand how others (coworkers mostly) have designed _their_ applications too! And as a company, it allows the sharing of a common set of best practices, automatically, since its "recommended by Google".

Its kinda like Google/Amazon are now the System/Operations engineers for our company. Which they're good at. And its awesome.
