The reliability is very very bad. It was really insane that 2 times in the past few months the main dashboard was down as I’m demoing something. Not to mention the deploy outages and almost daily some random thing was unavailable or delayed.
I had to leave a few months ago after the price raises and how many times my boss saw some issue in the project I had with them.
They also deprecated and removed their sqlite backup service. Back to GCP and not worrying about so many outages now.
Now just to worry about GCP getting shut down with a few days' notice. /s
But in all seriousness the gall to raise prices before actually fixing the reliability problems is pretty shocking. I understand it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing where you maybe are tight on resources but there's no scenario where it's acceptable to have a product with these kinds of problems and then raise prices on existing customers who are putting up with it.
Google's b2b products are relatively stable (relative to their b2c free services). You generally get somewhere like a year of notice if they shut it down.
