The company that I am with currently is doing consulting, and my previous company used it in the cloud. Both will be in the Google Cloud.
I personally used Google Cloud Storage to upload data, and the company is using it to save data model training results, such as AI training results.
Its integration with BigQuery has helped in the organization's improvement.
Its blob storage, being able to handle large amounts of unstructured data, is very useful.
Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable.
On the surface, it appears to be a straightforward product.
It's everything you want, and not complex.
There was one complicated use case at a previous firm, two years ago. If you didn't name it, but sequentially named it, and you saved your files over a day, and it's a sequence, there would be some inefficiency with the cachets. If you are trying to retrieve large blocks of files, there was a problem with the cache, it was inefficient.
There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing.
Creating a hierarchy can be a little difficult, and obtuse to deal with, but it is something that is workable for a good engineer.
There is no learning curve as compared to other solutions.
I would like to see some assistance in establishing a hierarchy.
I have been working with Google Cloud Storage for seven years.
The versions are upgraded, but there are not many changes.
In the past, we have used S3, and Amazon AWS.
Google Cloud Storage is an extremely reliable product. There are no issues with the stability of Google Cloud Storage.
Google Cloud Storage is a scalable solution.
The Google technical support is not very good at all. But it's such a simple product that in my entire career, we have never had to contact support.
I have several solutions such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Data Studio as well as Looker.
I have been working with Google Data Studio for three or four years.
The initial setup was fine.
It's an inexpensive product.
Solid, cheap, and performant are the three words that come to mind when describing this solution.
I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.
