Performance

Google Compute Engine's performance is up to the standard and I don't really have any complain about that. But website itself does not load quickly and there is a very noticeable delay when the website loads. And no, our system did not our slow down when we integrated Google Compute Engine in our system.

Reliability and Availability

There were some very few cases where we had an outage but mostly it did not last more than 10 minutes. And if there were any maintenance, we were notified beforehand. So did not have any major problem with Google Compute Engine's availability.

Alternatives Considered

Google BigQuery and Vertex AI
