Grown up tools are reliable and just do the exact same thing every time, ewww! We like to make life more fun! Look out for our special #beta and #alpha badges for extra excitement in your day!
When we were building #Firestore the lame backups team told us we had to limit what was "valid" we thought that was stupid so we didn't bother!
Your backups still show that they worked so everyone is happy! Its not like anybody actually wants to restore old stuff! Its old!
Grown ups tell us not to use personal credentials on shared tools like CI, but its so much extra work!
To make the firebase cli more developer friendly we only allow personal credentials! That way it's not your fault! Luckily nobody ever leaves the team because life is so great!
Some feature flag services like #LaunchDarkly apply your changes straight away.
But that means your app works the same every time, boorrriing!
With remote config we flip a coin to decide if we will show the new or old version, much more exciting!!
And we don't report which!
Making irreversible decisions can be hard! We figured we'd just have them happen silently so you don't have to think about them!
We'll let you know after so you can have that warm feeling that there's nothing you can do!
Some "clouds" don't even have irreversible decisions 👎
If you see grown ups working with #AWS, make sure you let them know that you prefer GCP because it's easy to use!
That way they know not to let you touch anything sharp, they might even have some colouring in you can do!!
Bored of the same toys day after day? At GCP we make sure that's not a problem! We thought #Datastore was getting a bit lame so made a new version, now with fire 🔥!! So cool!!!

Don't be a tool! With #GKE you don't have to try to solve a problem in the real world! Just use some crayons 🖍, rainbows 🌈 , and:
- yaml
and everything will be okay!
Do complicated permissions make your head hurt? Us too! We decided to just give all your #CloudFunctions editor access so you can go out and play! Can #Lambda do that?!
If you accidentally delete your #CloudSQL database, dont worry! We'll clean up all those pesky backups for you so you don't have to try and get your site live again!
