Great... how long till google gets bored of this and cuts all theses services leaving their customer's screwed?<p>After seeing how google handles products and their sun-setting I would never trust my production environment with google.<p>The only product I ever integrated our production environment with was google maps/places and we got fucked over with a 5x cost increase.<p>Seriously who would ever trust google over AWS or Azure...
This could be a game changer if it is well integrated. No more dealing with forks of open source projects that respect the interface up to a certain point. That way we can a full local stack that is exactly what runs on the cloud.
This looks like a great move - I just wish Citus or another top-tier Postgres option was included, Google's managed Postgres is pretty behind (old version, no PITR, and IIRC limited module and replication support).<p>We're still managing our Postgres manually ontop of GCE and I'd rather not have to do that, but I also don't want to give up the replication setup we have and the modules we use.
Nice move. GCP is years behind the other clouds in offering common managed services so this seems like a great way to catch up quickly, while allowing the vendors to control their own service.<p>I'm always surprised at how many of these vendors don't have any cloud offering of their own, or have very limited versions.
ElasticCo and Mongo (the companies) already offer managed services that run on top of AWS where you can pay for the full versions. How is this different?<p>Why would I move to GCP instead of just sticking with AWS and paying for managed services directly from the vendor?<p>And then having to worry about Google losing interest in a year or two?
