Huh?? While I am an English native person, and know almost nothing of any other, that still doesn't make sense to me...
Google's cloud product, which is made to compete with AWS. deleted a customer's account on accident.
google is always inferior for their products compared to azure / aws. nobody in right mind would risk using google infrastructure and then next week it's getting listed in killedbygoogle[DOT]com. UniSuper should get on this list lol
also, which one of you $7 chicken enjoyer has no offsite backups?
I know that, but that isn't what the paragraph says..
First time I read it, I thought that one of Google's competitors deleted the account, but that didn't make sense with the title and rest of the article.
Overall, I highly doubt that this has "never happened before", more likely never happened to an account with this much clout before..
Google does have some superior services in GCP. BigQuery is simply amazing, AWS redshift doesn't compare, also not well known but it also comes with 2TB of ingestion per month free with amazing for streaming large amounts of CDC data. There's also some real nicety on the network side, for example a single VPC spans all regions, and you benefit from the Bandwidth Alliance with CDN Interconnect pricing when using for example Cloudflare too. I'd rather use GCP than Azure, Azure is 2nd purely through all the legacy SA/Technet/VL subscribers being bribed with Azure credits.
An interesting incident?
That is a very important take-home from the story, no matter what provider(s) you use.
Absolutely top-notch reliability!!
Entrust us with your data.
Indeed, I use it all the time. One of the best hidden gems in Google's crown.
epic disaster
Yep we have some reports that take ages to run on postgres (even with extreme fine tuning) but we CDC the data up to BigQuery and just let them to scale the compute, I dont think we've paid more than a dollar or two per month on the query side. On ingestion we were paying around $150/mo but that was using the old API, we moved to the new streaming API and took advantage of new CDC tables, and our ingestion cost is $0.00/per month.
Soon google will join LET offers. Many offers in LET/LEB has similar data reliability
No technical post-mortem probably because multiple management failures, not engineers.
Hmm, I like to say accidents do happen
