I am using GKE, buckets, cloud SQL, pubsub and IAM, big query.

Our costs are 1/3rd of what AWS was.

Their support isn't as good as AWS.

I use terraform for everything and Google authors that provider and I find that their resources are very consistent.

IAM is a bit of a mess but at least it is a consistent mess.

I’m always considering the potential for Google to deprecate GCP but, for us, it’s the best option today.

We’re heavily invested in GCP but aside from BQ, I feel we can lift and shift to another provider if need be with some pain. Even our BQ work, while extensive, is mostly SQL and would likely work with effort but nothing earth shattering.

That said, I still prefer GCP to AWS by far, but there’s no way they’re going to surpass AWS by 2023 unless something big changes.
