google cloud seems like a repackaging of internal google services which is fine but most companies don't want to migrate existing code to google's homegrown tech. the story for running postgres, oracle, mssql, spark, hadoop, kafka, etc on google cloud is vastly inferior to the same on aws where they either offer it as a managed service or someone else has done and documented the work required to do it


Managed Spark & Hadoop = Cloud Dataproc https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/

One-click deploys for Kafka and Postgres: https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/bitnami-la..., https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/bitnami-la...


To be fair there is a big difference between a button to deploy an image and something like RDS which manages that instance going forward.


Google offers managed service variants comparable to most of those AWS services. For example - Cloud SQL.

How are these anymore "home grown" than the AWS equivalents?


calling cloud sql comparable to aws rds is exactly what i mean

cloud sql offers a single version of mysql

aws rds has multiple versions of postgres, mysql, oracle, mssql and aurora
