I&#x27;ve found Google Compute Engine decent, but with App Engine I ran into difficulties with vendor lock-in. I had to first modify my code to get the app run on my local computer. After that I never got it deployed because GAE requires me to bind their own TCP context for outbound connections. This was a shame because I would have wanted to have my app on GAE and database on Heroku.<p>Just saying that calling 90% of Google Cloud&#x27;s products to be far better than AWS (or any equivalent provider for that matter) is bold.
