I feel it's way too hand wavy on consistency and correctness. My opinion as someone who've implemented marketing workflows that breaks all the time (and tons of painful lessons). Strong correctness guarantee is something that shou

Hahaha totally relatable. Love Zendesk but they kept charging and adding more features I don't need. I built https://pointanswer.com/ for myself to host 3 of my own SaaS instead of paying more than $100/mo for sim

Being an advocate for GCP all these years, I can only say the earlier you get out of it, the safer it is for your business. All it takes is for their automated system to go haywire, and you can say bye bye to all your goodwill and customers

Facebook doing that is actually good, to protect consumers from data abuse after incidents like cambridge analytica. They are holding businesses who touches your personal data responsible.

excellent idea, this will eventually be the SendGrid for email agents. Just automating 2FA alone is worth the gold. And there's tons of use cases. I have no doubt this will be huge.

postmark is a garbage now. This is coming from a previous postmark advocate and moved to SES. SES is terrible in the past but now it is at least on-par if not better than postmark. Only issue with SES is setup can be tedious.

Because all other aspects of their businesses except services beat expectations. So we can't really say if this change will be permanent indefinitely.

Because business owners don't have the time and resources to keep changing vendors to save 10% costs. Time is money. Switching cost is more than you think. For example, I don't like Zendesk it's expensive and over-engineered.

Amazon is A-tier. GCP is F-tier GCP - Shutdown our production servers and took 1 whole week to get it resolved. Nothing fraudulent on our end. Just for missing out on KYC form.

GCP will shutdown your production servers and take one whole week to get it back. All for missing out on a KYC form. Our story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35133917 Forget about the initial shutdown, how can you ta

> AWS support is so nice, you can't believe it. This! They even custom-coded their support portal better than those off-the-shelf vendor like Zendesk. I say this as a Zendesk paying customer. GCP on the other hand, is a F-tier in su

As usual, the expected Google Clown Platform support. FWIW, 3 months ago they shutdown my servers for some minor issue and I'm only able to get them to reactivate after a week. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

I can resonate this. I used to be a huge Google Clown Platform fan but boy these folks displays a sense of condescending attitude to their users/customers. Long story short. They don't give a shit of you and have zero empathy. Whe

Just go with AWS or Azure. Google Clown Platform is okay until you need to have any form of support. I'm like you, bootstrapper. Went with GCP for 4 yrs until they shutdown my production servers last fri. https://news.ycombi

I want to add one more thing. Whether or not if it's my fault for the initial suspension isn't the main thing. The main thing is how they "react" to help a customer get things back to normal when something goes wrong. Ve

Their support is so horrible that we should rename Google Cloud Platform as "Google Clown Platform"
