I got bored and stopped before finishing 2012, but you can go back and find more.

App Maker is probably the worse on that killedbygoogle.com copy & paste list. Rest are B2B really?, the product evolved and got re-branded/consolidated or meh, was it really widely used anyway? Not a single one is a Google Cloud product.

I am no Google fanboy and get frustrated by a lot of things they do. But I think the Google kills everything argument for B2B products is getting tiresome. Especially in a Google Cloud Platform context.

Their actions on the Google Maps API absurd price hike and the recent GKE pricing structure change debacle is a whole other story and worth a lot of criticism.

[tedivm]

I absolutely consider the rest of the best to be B2B. Some of them are also used by consumers (in the same way that many products are both B2B and B2C), but all of those products have business use cases. Whether it was "widely used anyways" is a different argument and a bit of a shift in the goalposts.

[joshuamorton]

Were any of them paid B2B products that required any effort by the "client" to migrate? Because if its not paid, its not really a B2B product.

Any business tool requires effort to migrate. No matter if paid or not.

[joshuamorton]

I don't think you understood the two different requirements:

Was it a paid business tool? (If not, it's not really a business tool, it's a tool someone was relying on for business, which is different).

Then secondarily, was there a migration cost? Which there sometimes isn't if, for example, two tools are API compatible.

There are literally zero GCP products in that list. (Despite the unfortunate naming, both Cloud Print and Messaging predate GCP and have nothing to do with it.)

GCP has been around for a fraction of the time of Google as a company. It is perfectly valid to have at least some concern here as Google as a company has a long track record of shutting down products. Conversely, it is tenuous at best to use the argument that since GCP has never shutdown a product that they won’t given how many of their products were launched very recently.

[9nGQluzmnq3M]

Yes, that argument has been made ad nauseam, but the previous poster was asking specifically for GCP products that have been shut down -- and the response doesn't seem to contain any.

[tedivm]

I think you misread-

> a list of Google Cloud Products or even just Business to Business related products

They asked for GCP or B2B products, not only GCP products.

[dkobran]

Yes, many of the GCP products that were launched in the past six months were not shutdown.

App engine has been around for 10+ years.
