Totally agree with this mindset. My digital life is on the line because Google refuses to separate services.

Create a new Gmail account?

Google associates different accounts that are from the same owner when handling issues FYI. So if they think your account is doing something wrong on GCP, be wary of associated accounts.

Never once heard of that.

Did you read the comments? My takeaway is that it was bs.

There was one person strongly challenging the story and plenty of back and forth. It hardly seems a settled case one way or the other.

Separating concerns, isolating things that are not related, these are some basic tenets of good engineering. Yet we all keep rolling the ball of mud downhill and act shocked it keeps growing and swallowing everything.

That's the beauty of the services I named. Super easy to roll the code to any other similar PaaS provider. There is no vendor lockin.

It is postgres + http handlers.
