It is hard when you have a business. You really have to actively try to stay away from them. They control so much business infrastructure.
I know my business partner (god bless him, great friend but...) is super into big tech and every new product they offer. So it's a bit of an uphill battle.
And I'm lucky. I own my own firm. Most people don't have such a luxury.
Google server infrastructure products are almost universally worse than Amazon's. The interfaces, APIs, and documentation look like they were designed by people who don't understand humanity.
Most importantly, they are designed by people that don't use them. Amazon uses AWS themselves, Google doesn't use GCP.
At least they're not as bad as Microsoft. Azure is a goddamn dog with fleas.
I am fortunate enough to have never had MS servers forced upon me.
Good to know.
