That’s a fair point, but I don’t think it needed to be so heavy on the google cloud plugs to get the point across. Every other paragraph seemed to be checking a content marketing box, trying to slip in some nugget about the google cloud (e.g. the link to Google SRE’s when defining what a managed service is). Just sticking to the facts and adding more details on how the publisher deployed their stack (gce, gke, etc.?), why their app still prefers p2p connections even when the google cloud network is present, what a typical turn looks like in their app (is it stateless Scala servers mutating Cloud Spanner?), etc. More technical details and less plugs would be more effective in my opinion.
Anyway, impressive work making such a great set of services available.
