Google Cloud Platform - The Good, Bad, and Ugly (It's Mostly Good) - Deps
Deps is a private, hosted, Maven repository. While building it I had a critical decision to make - Where to host it? I evaluated many different hosting services but decided on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I've been using it in pre-production and then production for over a year and a half now. I haven't seen too many experience reports on Google Cloud, so I wanted to share how I've found it, what went well, and what still needs improving. I've split my thoughts below into good, meh, bad, ugly, and opportunities for improvement. I have compared and contrasted with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the other hosting provider that I have the most experience with, and GCP's biggest competitor.
A note up front, these are solely my experiences, and it's quite possible that I've misunderstood or misrepresented things here. If I've made any mistakes, let me know so I can correct them. I only talk about services that I have experience using. There are a bunch of really good looking services like Google Kubernetes Engine, Google App Engine, and BigQuery, but I haven't used them enough (or at all) to be able to give a review on them.
