I do work at Google: I’m not trying to dismiss the concerns and I understand that deprecations are a legitimate concern and carry a significant business cost. It sucks that you got burned a few years ago, and I totally get the why you lost trust in GCP.

I do think Google Cloud is trying to do better and the few deprecations I’ve seen personally have been heavily scrutinized and considered, with a clear migration path for users. I was only asking for data to objectively understand the problem as it stands today, and not to minimize your own experience. I know there are experiences similar to yours, but hopefully there are far fewer in recent years (but its always hard to tell without data).

That is encouraging, but it will take years to regain trust. Perhaps GCP will eventually exceed expectations and turn out to be a great platform.
