Hello Kaan, I wished to start a discussion on a more philosophical, or say strategic question: whether there was a real trend towards replacing true services by software products hosted on leased servers. I did not want to get this mixed up with some specific grievance at all.
The first consideration of your initial post was in line with that question, and your mention of the email service was quite to the point. In fact, pushing users from the original email api towards Sendgrid was one of these significant shifts, which I went through, but it was one where a service is replaced by another service, albeit from another provider, and with a significant free quota so that cost is not too much of an issue. In the two other shifts that I mention, memcache and search, I would have much preferred that sort of migration, from service to other service. I would not mind using the ElasticSearch API, which is indeed much more powerful than the GCP search api. What I do mind, is having to lease 2 servers or more, full time, for that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
