Companies moving from AWS and Azure to Google Cloud Platform
Why Spotify and GitLab chose to move to Google
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the oldest and most mature provider of cloud computing, offering the most services. However, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure are innovating at a quick pace, and all three of these industry leaders have their pros and cons.
Tech companies like GitLab and Spotify optimize their cloud partnerships based on such differences. They ask themselves core questions. What is our company’s core competency? What are we trying to achieve with cloud computing? Which cloud provider currently best meets those needs?
Founded in 2011, GitLab aims to be the best solution for all DevOps needs, such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). It’s a major competitor to most of GitHub’s services and is expected to IPO in 2020.
GitLab’s core product enables its customers to easily integrate with any cloud provider, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP. Users can install GitLab directly on any of these three services and even use multiple cloud providers with one GitLab account.
