(Article author here) Unfortunately my experiences with GCP have been fairly mixed. One place I worked had a number of problems with managed databases going AWOL on GCP.

Also the GCP panel is truly awful, much much worse than the AWS console.

I have to wonder if this depends on one's familiarity with the respective products. I started with GCP and then used AWS and found the latter to be way more confusing and convoluted than GCP. The forced daily logouts on AWS added another element of hassle to the mix.

My experiences with GCP have been pretty good, most of those experiences were with GKE. In many ways, their products are superior to AWS. At the very least, they have a different approach to offering cloud services rather than simply attempting to copy AWS offerings.

However, their support is absolute shit and they're absolutely devoid of the customer first mentality that AWS demonstrates.
