My biggest challenge with GCP is that I'm still not convinced Google cares that much about this division.
They acquired Looker, fired the customer service staff, and then set it out to crumble. Looker used to be LOVED by its customers but now they were forced to make their semantic layer work with Tableau.
Also, I'm still not convinced Google cares about divisions that aren't linked to advertising. Google Search, Gmail (kinda), Maps, Android, and YouTube are their darlings.
Will GCP be around in 5 years? I honestly am not sure.
