I'd be curious if anyone knows the details about why: complexity, customer complaints, reliability?
Too much complexity for a world that's moving to mobile clients that can't be active peers of the network.
If so this is perhaps a dated phenomenon. Moore's Law is still a thing and today's generation of mobile devices are getting fatter and fatter.

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…
What kind of support am I going to get if I'm just tinkering with the platform? Maybe I'm just used to AWS but I always found the GCE interface (at least for launching VMs) a lot more difficult to use.
Like I mentioned above, we do have active communities on Stack Overflow, per-product mailing lists (in this case https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gce-discussion) and Server Fault.
What 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)…
Isn’t it risky to move to competition's infrastructure?
Spotify has much bigger risks in their licensing deals.

> infinitely auto-scalable platform where we don't have to do any devops or carry a pager You never know what you don't measure and test
Load balancers: Scale to millions of users seamlessly. No warming up, no tickets, ...
PubSub: You can send the whole Internet 10 times in a day through it. Google does that every day
Big Query: Its equivalent to spinning up a 100+ node cluster in a matter of seconds and it can process data at speeds of GB's of data per sec, I heard couple of use cases where the user was able to process at ~ 50 GB/s
Kubernetes: 1000's of nodes running 100's of thousands of containers.
Can't beat that!
I was wondering about Spotify's contributions to Hadoop stack such as Snakebite and Luigi. What will happen to these projects if they're moving to BigQuery?
Luigi has had BigQuery support for some time: https://github.com/spotify/luigi/pull/1002
Spotify will be talking more about the specifics of their data pipelines at GCP Next in SF in March, - I would expect to see a lot more on the new Google Cloud Big Data blog at https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/ too.

I want to see your lovely face in the office every day. =)
Man, you should consider remote options at least for the Customer Success given how low you're paying (is $50K really livable in San Francisco?).

I've been relying on multiple Cloud offerings (including PaaS, IaaS etc) outside Google for many years, but for some unclear reason, I cannot manage to consider Google a reliable partner for a type of hosting or another, at this point. 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…
