Interesting that you trust Google more in this regard. Given Google's terrible history of deprecating products, I would not trust any "real world" business to any of their services.

Also, at some point I was playing with Serverless in both Google and AWS. Google's Serverless examples were broken (Google cloud was returning 500 errors) while the same stuff in AWS worked smoothly. That left me with a bad taste.

That doesn't apply to me, because I have never used any of Google's deprecated products. I assume that's because they haven't (or have they?) deprecated any of their cloud services.

Good for you!

I have used Google Cloud Run for more than a year now, and can't be more happy. Never had problems with AWS either, which means that there are at least two cloud providers providing the same-ish service that lots of people can enjoy.

Also, there have been plenty of Google products with paying customers that Google has shot down.

At this point, I have 0 credibility in Google.

I highly doubt they will shut down a $5.5B business. Either way, because my applications are cloud-ready, it's easy to switch to another cloud provider again.
