> your competition (AWS) is better in every conceivable way.

Is that really true? I don't have a lot of experience with Firebase, just notifications and analytics, but working with Cognito and Amplify one- two years ago was like a bad joke, more similar to a fledgling startup than a well-rounded offering.

It rather seems to me that a lot of organisations are moving to GCP; BigQuery and its integrations with other Google products seems like a killer app, and GKE is seen as the better choice for hosted Kubernetes.

I'm still a fan of Red Hat's OpenShift, but I'm actually surprised how well Google seems to be managing their {S,P,I}aaS offerings and strategy in this space.

I had GCP kill my servers without warning because they claimed someone was mining crypto on them (they weren't). That alone was the permanent end to my business relationship with Google.

I should have known better though. Like I said, I've been through a lot of Google shutdowns and various screw jobs (remember the Google App Engine price hike?).

AWS is a professional product. It has warts but it's much more solid than GCP, technically and from a business perspective.
