    Doesn't surprise me. The value of their ad products is deteriorating rapidly. For instance just today we found that one of our UAC campaigns, which supposedly is super smart and wi…

    Given the big mess they had when Google Drive migrated to Google Play subscriptions I wouldn't exactly say that they're good at it. http://imgur.com/a/gzkZ5

    I'd be very surprised if Dropbox manages to IPO at $10B valuation. The growth simply isn't there. They're big on platforms and markets with no growth but they're getting killed in …

    1% of ~2 roughly billion users = 20 million users. With one request every 5 years that'd be roughly 10k support requests per day. Considering that a lot of the cases can be answere…

    We are also calling S3 from our servers. S3 is receiving more requests and has had 0 issues. This is the corresponding NewRelic data for S3: http://imgur.com/HjH4f0Q

    We use Multi-regional, Regional, DRA, Nearline and Cloudline. NewRelic doesn't differentiate between the buckets. It only provide an average across all request to storage.googleapi…

    If you consider to use Google Cloud Platform it's important to know that their SLA is practically useless. It only includes requests with HTTP Status code 500. If the system is not…
