Google Cloud - statistics & facts
A little late to the race Google Cloud, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), formerly known as App Engine, is a cloud computing services suite launched by Google in 2008. Which seemed more of a reaction to the rapid growth of AWS from Amazon. GCP starting off as platform as a service (PaaS), now offers infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) to organizations worldwide. Importantly, GCP is a service mainly for building and maintaining original applications that can subsequently be published from its hyperscale data centers. In 2024, Google Cloud generated revenues of over 43 billion U.S. dollars, which represents over 10 percent of Google's total revenues.
