I’m sorry. Are you able to work with your customers to keep their business while you sort this?

I would port your stuff to aws. Most services have close equivalents and it is probably worth while to try. As another poster noted it might be useful to have cross provider redundancy.

I’ll be honest I have refused to work at gcp and have steered the mega corps I’ve advised on cloud choices explicitly away from gcp. Azure is better, but less technically sophisticated. It’s still a one shop cloud. And any company whose core business is surveillance and advertising won’t care about their customers - you’re just meat for their machine. Amazon was built around a customer centric business (retail) and aws inherited the ethos of that retail business. It’s technology is marginally less sophisticated than googles, but googles technology comes with an embarrassingly large amount of smugness and clever solutions that fail in clever ways. Amazon basically just wraps up common technologies in a managed control plane (aside from a few primitives like kinesis, SQS, sns, and DynamoDB) and doesn’t infect everything with their smartness.

Good luck.
