One of the reasons I avoid Google is because they have taken lot of pain to make their customer care totally suck. I mean even IRS and Comcast support does better compared to Google. I published a very critical release to my Android app few weeks back and realized that it was not getting published at all. It took me a month to get the problem resolved. I don't want to buy a cloud service where the support might be no…
We offer paid support for Cloud ( http://cloud.google.com/support ) that let you trade off responsive time (e.g., 4 hours vs 1) for price. The support personnel (and engineering!) also do best effort scanning of Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and per-product mailing lists. You can get links to those here: https://cloud.google.com/support/#community . Disclaimer: I work on Compute Engine, but not in Support (though I d…

#53What Google Cloud needs is a better sales story. AWS consistently beats out Google in this respect. This story is welcomed and there should be more success stories published like this. My business is a heavy GC user (AppEngine, Datastore, CloudStorage, BQ, ComputeEngine, ManagedVM) and I couldn't imagine achieving what we have achieved in such a short amount of time on any other platform. We (myself and another guy)…

True, while other providers focus on DevOps, Google Cloud strives for NoOps. They should do more marketing on that.

#56I had no clue spotify operated their own data centers. Does anyone have a link to that compares google cloud vs aws on a per price + per service basis ?
We also have a handy guide for AWS professionals who are looking at Google's cloud: https://cloud.google.com/docs/google-cloud-platform-for-aws-...
[Disclosure, I work for GCP, but I love all TLAs equally]

I would love to be proven wrong really, because I often look at their GC offering, and I /really/ want to dive in, yet I feel that I would risk having to migrate quickly in 2 weeks at some point because they are changing things significantly (either shutting down or other major change).

EDIT: thanks to everyone who replied below. I think I'll give it a try :-)
