What makers say

116 makers on why they use Google Cloud Platform, in their own words on Product Hunt.

GCP is our AI infrastructure backbone. We didn't choose it just for scale – though it handles that too. Being part of the Google for Startups program gives us personal extended access to the tools and support that actually matter at our stage. For a B2B product like ours, data containment and tenant isolation are non-negotiable. Our customers trust us with sensitive GTM data, and GCP's security model gives us the architecture to honour that promise. Our CASA 2 certification backs that up – our security posture has been independently validated, not self-declared. On top of that, the native AI/ML tooling – Vector DB, inference, RAG – means we're building on primitives that are genuinely production-ready, not bolted-on afterthoughts.

Claro runs on Google Cloud. BigQuery is our analytical backbone, we store and query millions of rows of supplier data, enrichment history, and confidence metadata there. On top of that, the full data science stack (Vertex AI, notebooks, model training environments) is where our team runs experiments, benchmarks new validation approaches, and iterates on scoring logic. GCP gives us the throughput for parallel LLM calls (multi-model consensus), the storage for customer knowledge bases, and the flexibility to orchestrate long-running enrichment jobs across thousands of rows.

e run Pixlie’s web on Firebase Hosting and batch-generate launch creatives with Veo on Google’s stack. Firebase gave us fast global deploy for pixlys.com without babysitting CDN config, and GCP’s video/ML APIs let us produce Product Hunt b-roll at studio quality from prompts—not stock footage. Heroku stayed great for our API worker, but for frontend + generative media pipeline GCP was the one place that scaled with us.

Google Cloud Platform helped us build and operate GateOS with dependable cloud services and modern developer tooling. We chose GCP for its strong data, AI, and infrastructure capabilities, which enabled us to move quickly while maintaining reliability and scalability. As GateOS continues to grow, GCP provides the foundation needed to support thousands of learners on a unified learning platform.
