Bringing Pokémon GO to life on Google Cloud
A bunch of the comments are already pointing out the launch issues Pokemon Go had, and it's well known that a rep from AWS was also throwing jabs at them during launch for their issues.<p>It would be naive for everyone to assume that a high traffic launch is all about the cloud underneath and only that.<p>The article didn't mention any of the technical details of the Pokemon application itself, for all we know the infrastructure was humming nicely and the application itself didn't scale. Or the other way around, or a combination of both or one of the other of thousands of moving pieces it takes to launch something.
