Google’s own internal infra (Borg, Blaze) is top-notch. If Meta can pull off the public cloud correctly, I’d trust them greatly - they’ve shown significant engineering and product competence till now, even if they could use some more consistent and stable UI.

Dont all new projects go to gcp within google?

Depends on what you mean by new. None of the new features for the mature product I work on have touched it.

To the side I have had GCP work but it’s been isolated and as if I were moonlighting.

Yeah at this stage it doesn't make sense to have two tiers within Google.
