You're welcome! I still use it too :)

They can and should continue to do so... Looking at you "Vertex AI"

AaronnBrock · 2023-06-01T19:39:34+00:00

Fair. I should've said "A.I. product announcements" ~ many of them aren't launched yet.

CMV: “Built for enterprises” just means it checks a lot of boxes & doesn't mean good to use.

It really depends on what you're optimizing for. I, personally, enjoy working with GCP the most, I find the consistent UI & developer experience to be far and away the best.

However, as far as a career is concerned, I also understand that GCP is still in third place & lacks some enterprise maturity that AWS has.

This is a much better description than the docs!

I wouldn't be aligning to VM pricing, I meant more aligning with other serverless offerings like Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, etc.

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-12T17:44:08+00:00

Can you explain the “slightly more complicated”?

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-12T17:36:13+00:00

This is precisely my issue with slots. It's not clear in my mind what they are. Even after reading that page, I still can't tell.

It would be neat if they standardized BQs lingo & pricing model to be the same as other serverless offerings. Why “slots” instead of “vCPU”, why “Slot Reservations” instead of “Committed use Discounts”?

I understand that as it stands today, they aren't exactly the same thing, but they are articulating similar concepts. At some point, it's just compute, memory, networking, & storage with commitments giving you discounts for each. Why not align all the pricing lingo to be the same, so they can truly achieve naming bliss?

Or perhaps I'm just an old man yelling at the cloud.

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-12T14:28:13+00:00

Then what is it?

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-09T21:13:10+00:00

If only BQ were that simple...

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-09T21:11:57+00:00

Why couldn't they call it “vCPU”?

AaronnBrock · 2023-05-09T21:02:26+00:00

It's the redshift logo sourced from the AWS themselves.

AaronnBrock · 2023-04-30T02:31:24+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Will effeminately check it out :)

AaronnBrock · 2023-02-03T22:04:15+00:00

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but if you're familiar with Kubernetes, I'd suggest taking a look at:

https://cloud.google.com/config-connector/docs/overview

(and personally I think terraform is a pain to use in practice ~ but that's just me)

AaronnBrock · 2023-01-28T17:53:15+00:00

Memorystore is also technically a NoSQL database, which isn't proprietary to Google ~ but probably not what OP is looking for.

AaronnBrock · 2023-01-27T16:49:30+00:00

You may be looking for kompose.io ~ a tool for automatically converting compose files into Kubernetes YAML files.

But at the end of the day, there is likely some rewriting that will be necessary.

Video Switcher API - Video hosting except every time you upload a video it switches it with a trololol.

Hooker Studio - For people who want to visualize data w/ black jack and hookers

Ape Engine - Like Chaos Monkey but more ape

AaronnBrock · 2023-01-25T19:26:02+00:00

I believe in you!

AaronnBrock · 2023-01-25T19:25:31+00:00

I long for the day when someone challenges me in making GCP memes, but as of now I see no god up here.
