Why do you need Google cloud?

Question

Google Cloud Platform

Who knows why Google Cloud is needed?

For what tasks is it used? Should I choose regular hosting or prefer Google Cloud? Is it necessary for just developing a site without a lot of backend?

Answer 1

Behind the same thing as AWS and Yandex.cloud and all other clouds - infrastructure for applications.
If you don't know what it is, you definitely don't need it.

Answer 2

I agree with McBernar - if you don't already know, then you don't need to. As a rule, people move to the clouds when managing infrastructure from servers becomes excruciatingly painful, when you don’t fit into your own data center, or when you are a small startup and it’s easier for you to sketch a prototype on serveless (or fit into freetier)
