They still offer startups money to switch. Last year they offered my company 8 figures to go from AWS to GCP. Of course I said no because… that’s insane and useless. You have to wonder how many companies they are paying to use their subpar tech.

8 figures of what, doll hairs?

Seriously, 10s of millions wasn't worth switching?

It would have taken a solid year of work and all of my DevOps resources, for what? The customers won’t know or care. If I wanted to burn $5 million in salary and a year of feature development I’d rather figure out an on-prem solution, because at least someone might want that. The “pay to switch cloud” model doesn’t make sense.

If you have time, please hit me up on my email via my profile. I'd just like to ask a couple of questions.

Thanks

Hackernews loves to hate google, but I find gcp way more user friendly and simpler to understand and just get things running than on aws.
