Google Cloud APIs in plain English.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is Google's public cloud, offering hundreds of services — compute, databases, machine learning APIs, mapping, translation, and more. We use individual APIs to enhance applications rather than rebuilding everything on GCP.

FAQ
Common questions about Google Cloud APIs integration.
Should we host on Google Cloud?
Depends. For specific workloads (BigQuery analytics, ML APIs, mapping) Google Cloud is excellent. For general web hosting we more often use Cloudflare or AWS. We pick the right tool per workload, not a single cloud provider for everything.
