I can't find the the text you quoted in the article. Did they edit it out?
Yes, it looks like the text was edited, but the table is still incorrect.
Developer experience on GCP is vastly superior to AWS. - Pricing on GCP is much easier, no need to purchase reserved instances, figure out all the details and buried AWS billing rules. Run your GCP instances and automatically get discounts. AWS reserved instances requires knowing your instance types, knowing that you can purchase the smallest type of an instance class and combine, knowing that you can only purchase 2…
This is true on AWS, too. Common advice for AWS is to just make your disk bigger instead of paying for provisioned IOPS.
Hey all - Seth from Google here. Thank you to the authors who worked on this report. These types of reports help us better understand the ways in which our customers and partners utilize our platform. Our team is reviewing the report and will provide a response as we conduct our own benchmarks. Varying factors impact these types of benchmark analyses, many of which are difficult to isolate and control. As an example,…
Where do you intend to publish your response? GCP blog [1]? I'd like to make sure I won't miss it, and this HN thread may be buried by the time you come up with a response. [1] https://cloud.google.com/blog/
I've also benchmarked GCP vs. AWS [0], and, for the tests that I ran, found that GCP outperformed AWS by a factor of 3:1. Specifically, a GCP instance n1-highcpu-8 with a 256GB pd-ssd disk, clocked in at 11,728 IOPS vs an AWS c4.xlarge with a 256GB gp2 disk, clocking in at 3,634 IOPS. To put that in context of the blog post, it means your setup can drastically affect your results. Using local NVMe disk, for example,…

If you review the findings and then respond with, "Actually, GCP outperforms AWS," how many pinches of salt should we take your response with?
Choosing a cloud provider is about more than just performance. For me, I lean towards GCP because of the combination of awesome UX, custom VM configurations (which also means GPUs attached to a custom # CPUs), no-bidding spot instances, and the multi-regional cloud storage offering that replicates data across many regions for much cheaper than AWS. I wrote about this last year if you're curious: https://medium.com/@r…
Because CockroachDB has the explicit inspiration of being Google's Spanner without the special hardware, so... why not just use Spanner with the special hardware instead?

By nature large companies have massive global teams and there is no single provider for anything. Team A could using AWS, while team B cloud be using GCP, and team C is using Azure. Just because team B says they are using GCP doesn't mean the others are lying. Or, that there is anything weird going on.
Actually I meant to say that the news on the grapevine is that the big cloud players (GCP etc.) are potentially outsourcing demand for cloud services in excess of their capacity to AWS...

Dude, I sure hope they deserve having you on board. I am not at all convinced that they are capable of understanding just how much you bring to the table.
My opinion of them has definitely gone up a few notches.
