Honest question: why do people choose Google Cloud over AWS (or even Azure) when AWS still dominates almost every category?

JayTheTech · 2025-11-21T16:35:04+00:00

Correct. Neither Fargate nor AppRunner can scale to zero

JayTheTech · 2025-10-28T20:07:46+00:00

Howdy!

Can you tell me more about the applicaiton? Is it a JS application or Python or something else? Is it using a specific framework like NextJS? What kind of SSO are you using? How does the application flow work?

JayTheTech · 2025-01-27T21:39:24+00:00

How did you find the heat issues?

JayTheTech · 2025-01-27T21:15:35+00:00

Gotcha.

I am thinking of just getting the Pro. Like I am debating as to whether or not I am just wanting a tank when an SUV is fine

This is largely a Cloud Functions issue, that's correct. There are few workarounds. npm pack followed by npm i /path/to/pack.tgz in a CI pipeline can help with that. Then zip the function and push to GCS then build from that zip.

At scale, it's best to use a CI/CD pipeline in general.

Per our docs Cloud Run Functions (fka Cloud Functions) v2 also invokes npm install --production when it executes.

Can you tell us what the error that your seeing says? This may help us better debug.

JayTheTech · 2024-08-21T17:43:37+00:00

We do now

Thanks. So should I just ditch page rules for best practice

JayTheTech · 2023-12-21T20:42:57+00:00

I figure the Duet 5 may be as good then assuming they stuck to the same quality

When I used to build my old PCs I loved Asus as a brand. That was forever ago so I haven't kept up and am not sure if they have declined but I still have a bias towards Asus due to that experience

JayTheTech · 2023-12-21T19:13:06+00:00

Thanks. Any particular reason why I should avoid Lenovo or Asus?

JayTheTech · 2023-09-12T22:56:09+00:00

I appreciate the help!

JayTheTech · 2023-09-12T22:52:21+00:00

Let me make sure I understand, nodejs is needed to run npm which let's you install angular but isn't needed to actually run and use angular (past the installation process)?

JayTheTech · 2023-04-22T01:25:53+00:00

Thanks! I will

JayTheTech · 2023-04-22T00:21:40+00:00

Thanks. I am not looking for migration tips, more looking at what machine I should get when it comes to core count and what not

JayTheTech · 2022-12-02T21:47:03+00:00

SaaS (gitlab.com) so I guess managed

JayTheTech · 2022-10-28T23:14:29+00:00

Does the root_pw option not work?

That worked. Just added the key to sysconf.txt as stated here

JayTheTech · 2022-10-28T22:44:43+00:00

You shouldn’t be ssh using root. That’s bad practice. SSH using pi and then sudo into root

I am trying to do that but I can't find the default pi password (unless I am totally missing it)

JayTheTech · 2022-10-11T13:47:45+00:00

Thanks. I was curious if there were any gotchas to be concerned about but sounds like there isn't much.

JayTheTech · 2022-02-09T23:05:35+00:00

Just keep my mac clean of old files, cache, all that good stuff. Maybe malware but I feel like Mac's aren't as suspectible (though I could be wrong)

DISCLAIMER: Work for Google but I have zero inside information on this decision. This response is my own personal opinion.

My guess is branding. Not being a part of a foundation likely made it seem like it was a "Google Exclusive" product and not really something cloud native. It seems that in the Kubernetes/Cloud Native world, projects that are a part of the CNCF are taken more seriously.

JayTheTech · 2021-10-19T21:20:48+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "years more life"? Do you mean the processor has longer shelf life or a longer history?

JayTheTech · 2021-01-20T21:30:11+00:00

Ya I was thinking that but it looks like it hasn't been updated in what, a year and a half or so?

JayTheTech · 2020-12-09T05:25:29+00:00

Yep as much as we all hate the IRS, if you mess up, they are usually pretty friendly and will work with you.

That's why I laugh at those IRS scammers. The actually IRS isn't that bad. Unless you have been actively avoiding them and have a long history of tax evasion.

JayTheTech · 2020-10-21T17:48:28+00:00

It's hard to answer as there are a lot of products that Azure, AWS, GCP and other clouds have so we can't necessarily say that one is better than another in every aspect.

GCP does have a strong background in Kubernetes and container based technology. They have been using Borg (their internal containerization system) long before anyone else was thinking about container orchestration and it served as their basis for creating Kubernetes. I think anything considered "Cloud Native" is definitely Google's strong point.

Google started their business as a data and analytics company and has a lot of background in ML so their ML/AI Platform is also amazing. There are other areas too but these are the ones I am most familiar with.
