Engineering with GCP
What is GCP and why does SKN IT use it?
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products.
Why GCP matters.
GCP is a leader in big data, analytics, and machine learning. Its modern networking and focus on containerization (having invented Kubernetes) makes it an excellent choice for modernized cloud-native applications.

Common Questions
Technical and business considerations for GCP projects.
How does GCP compare to AWS on costs?
GCP often has more flexible pricing for computation (discounts for sustained use) and lower networking costs, making it very competitive for data-intensive projects.
Why is BigQuery the gold standard for analytics?
BigQuery is a serverless, highly scalable data warehouse. It allow us to run petabyte-scale queries in seconds without you ever having to manage a single database server.
Is GKE better than other managed Kubernetes services?
Since Google created Kubernetes, GKE is often the first to receive new features and has the most mature automation for scaling and lifecycle management, which we use to minimize your operational overhead.
How does Google's global fiber network benefit my users?
Google's private network bypasses most of the public internet. This means data travels faster between your users and your servers, resulting in lower latency and a more responsive app experience.
