Why should I trust Google to compare GCP, AWS, Azure? If I really want to compare services, I would do it on my own, look for independent websites or pay an independent company to does it for me.

This is and the lack of human support is the reason I w ill never host anything with Google ever.
While I understand the sentiment there is actually human support available on Google Cloud Platform, and there are contracts and SLAs for service availability and support. Also, as part of Google Cloud for Startups we were assigned a local (as in: operating in our country) account manager that periodically checks in to see how we're doing and connects us to Google's partners where applicable. We're actually very happ…
And given how easy it is to e.g. trick the Youtube algorithm to believe a video is hot using fake engagement, I very much dislike the worldview they have that algorithms can solve everything in 2021.
After installing the GCP CLI tool, I keep having this nagging concern that it would be used to track me for advertising purposes.

To be fair this is not a comparison, but rather showing equivalent products with no qualitative rating of the other companies’ product. Therefore I think this is a good Ressource albeit not a comparison.
The resource limits are so severely restricted on Cloud Run that I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to Fargate. The space of use cases solved well with Fargate is far, far larger.
Honest question: which of the limits in https://cloud.google.com/run/quotas#cloud_run_limits do you find “severely restricted”?
Competition is always better and welcomed. But I really don't understand what edge google offers other products. If anything, I am always really wary about google and their products. People might say that enterprise services are different, and it's different from free services where if you're not paying you can't expect anything, but there's been paid services by google that have been absolutely terrible like stadia.…
Google Cloud is just a pleasure to use. It has by far the best documentation, the best user interface, the best CLIs (gcloud etc) and tooling, and they have the most accessible teams of any of the other cloud providers. I remember having an issue with firebase authentication a while back, I posted a question on stackoverflow and a firebase team member had answered it within a few hours. Good luck getting any help wit…

Can you not use Bigquery or Aws Redshift? On the microsoft blog posts it seems Azure Data Explorer is more price efficient, though I don't quite understand besides that is it doing something special compared to microsoft's existing offerings?
ADX is an extremely good timeseries data store. Integrates very easily without hassles into EventHub , Blobstore etc, and also has a very intuitive query language. (Though we could say AWS product integrate with Kinesis / S3 into RedShift). Needless to say a lot of nice features like Geo queries , extremely good support make it really good! Azure was not as good as GCP in terms of data offerings , but with ADX and Co…
The last time I was subjected to azure, I wanted to drive a stake through my head out of sheer frustration.
Curious to know about your experience with Cosmos though, when I last looked it was eye wateringly expensive and reports were that performance was...slow at best.

It astounds me to this day that AWS doesn't have a heroku-style "five clicks to have a github repo deploying at a url" PaaS offerring. Beanstalk ain't it, and they cloned DO's "create a VM wizard" (Lightsail) but still no simple GitHub oauth webhook build/deploy. PaaS is such a great and convenient model. It seems a major oversight to me on AWS's part.
Look up AWS Amplify

Looks like that's a Netlify competitor for building and hosting purely static sites.

Yeah but...then I’d have to use azure. The last time I was subjected to azure, I wanted to drive a stake through my head out of sheer frustration.
