How is IoT a hobbyist business?

I deployed a large restaurant equipment project on Azure backends and couldn't be happier.

I've made a policy of not touching Google for anything embedded-related and it continues to pay off.

I guess, yeah, anything non-AdWords related is a hobby. For Google.

They didn't say IoT is a hobbyist business. They said no serious company in their right mind would use a Google IoT product, so the only market they have is the hobbyists who aren't deterred by the fact that Google only keeps these services around for a couple of years before shutting down.

Yes, correct. I probably could have phrased that more clearly. Sorry. :-(

[joezydeco]

Yeah, I misread that. Thanks.

I think the parent comment was saying that Google cloud is for hobbyist because no one in their right mind will build a business that depends on Google cloud offerings.

I think he's saying sane businesses will stay away from GCP, leaving the hobbyists, and there aren't enough of them to sustain GCP.

[joezydeco]

Not just GCP.
