Google App Engine and Cloud Datastore Outages

It’s days like this I miss having data centers to manage. At least it was my fault the service went down. Nowadays I have to create redundancy across two different cloud providers to keep my business running. Thanks Google!

For the record the price was appealing for us to start moving to GCP, but an outage like this is giving me seines thoughts.

Am I right when I hear my other sys admin friends say GCP is like Gmail back in the day; still in beta?

Well it wasn't Google first to introduce, you may want to blame Amazon with AWS. Proper marketing made people believe in benefits of building applications this way and here we are now.

I am scared to think traditional VPS/VDS and leased servers will cease to exist and we all will have to deal with GCP/AWS/Whatever.

Hope this won't happen during my lifetime.
