I know Shopify uses GCP.

I'm curious, folks who use GCP, how is it?

There are plenty of customers using Google Cloud. It made $9.6B last quarter, that’s 28% increase from the prior year, and operating margin of 9.4%. In contrast, AWS made $24.2B, with 13% growth, and operating margin of 30%.

The point is that Google is buying the growth, which eventually runs out. While that’s a reasonable business strategy — it’s not the same as innovating a new business.
