It's cheaper until you get to a sizeable workload, and the P90+ latency is ridiculous.. the kafka api is weak and when you're not using kafka api you're limited on integration tools unless you want to be super locked in to GCP.

The lock-in argument is a non starter with me. I never see people move between clouds (well it happens but it is incredibly rare) and it isn’t because of lock in but rather they are pretty close to equivalent. And if you wanted to go on prem you can replace the messaging system, it isn’t one of the hardest steps of going on prem.
