ConsenseShould we use AWS or GCP for our infrastructure?
For most teams, the specific cloud matters less than the plan says it does — both cover the core primitives well. The real decision is usually whether a switch is worth the migration cost, not which platform wins in the abstract.

What actually decides it
Switching cost if you're already deployed
Data egress, re-architecting managed-service dependencies and retraining the team are real, often underestimated costs. Migrating needs a specific, quantified reason.
Team's existing experience
Deep familiarity with one platform's IAM, networking and quirks is worth more in practice than a marginal feature advantage on the other.
Specific service fit
If your workload leans on a particular managed service (e.g. a specific data warehouse, ML pipeline, or GPU availability), let that drive the decision over general platform reputation.
Multi-cloud is a cost, not a hedge, at small scale
Running both 'just in case' usually means neither is used well. Pick one and get good at it until there's a concrete reason not to.
What would change the answer
- A quantified cost/performance gap for your actual workload
- Credits or committed-spend agreements that change the economics
- A hard dependency on a service only one platform offers well
