I think your integration comment is spot on but might be an apples and oranges thing. On GCP everything is an HTTP request with an id_token in the header and event in the body, almost surprisingly so. As a result services like Cloud Functions and Cloud Run containers are quite literally just generic HTTP handlers. I suspect the integration feel of Lambda, which I agree with, might be a consequence of inter-service communication on AWS being relatively proprietary, or if that's not the right word, custom? Maybe the loose feeling of GCP is because everything is an HTTP request? It's almost like all of GCP runs on a built-in HTTP API Gateway setup by default. Honestly most of the time I feel like I'm living in HTTP-Request-land anyway, so not having to context switch when working with the platform is kind of nice sometimes.

This one's always been a favorite.
