LOL.. okay, so we should just ignore Kubernetes as being on of the biggest contributions to scalable environments because it was by Google. Time for everyone to stop using Kubernetes and Android and everything else then in favor of the more open platforms like IOS, amiright?

I think the point they parent posters were making is that with Google you really never know which of their projects will live long and which will get axed.

That makes Google products risky to build your business on.

What does it have to do with anything tho? I mean you could fork Android but its Upstream can still be killed, it wont be maintained by google anymore. You seem to be mixing things.

Something that’s open source can’t be killed.

Yes it can, community fork which aint maintained by Google is not google anymore. Fork all you want, if Google kills it from its repos, its still killed by google.

all of those companies have also cancelled or killed products and services. you might say Google has killed more, but Google also starts more, so...

> but Google also starts more

Who cares how many they start? They could start a million products per year, and that would not change the fact that depending on a Google service involves considerable risk.

I'm not sure why you're working so hard to defend this hill, but it would seem your local minima is within a deep crater.

I'm in full agreement here, Google starts more products and kills more products. So that means... I'm less trusting that any google product is to survive. That was the original point made above.

You’re being too dramatic, https://killedbygoogle.com/ was made for a reason.
