AppFog (discontinued) vs. Google Cloud CLI

It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

it is great for automating tasks like deploying VMs, running BigQuery and managing cloud resources at scale. It is much faster than the UI for repetitive actions and allows you to easily script and scale progress. However it is not ideal for beginners

• Quick deployment of pre-built virtual machines
• Some of the virtual machines also are readily available with a pack of softwares
• Good Stability. Using it as a student, I have never experienced any downtime issues with the projects deployed on AppFog.

• Though it is good and easy for developers, it lacks operational activities and monitoring tools.
• It is easy to deploy WAR on AppFog with its console but sometimes it can lack on the performance and feasibility.

Google Cloud CLI is highly usable once you’re past the basics, especially for engineers and DevOps teams who live in the terminal. It’s powerful, consistent, and scriptable, which makes it excellent for repeatable workflows, automation, and day-to-day cloud operations. The command structure is generally logical, tab-completion and help flags are solid, and it integrates cleanly into CI/CD pipelines—huge wins for productivity

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.

Google Cloud CLI stacks up well against other cloud and infrastructure CLIs by balancing power, consistency, and automation readiness, especially in production environments. Compared to AWS CLI, it’s more opinionated and readable, with better defaults and a more coherent command structure across services. Compared to Azure CLI, it’s less beginner-friendly but offers deeper control and is better suited for complex, large-scale workflows.
