How FAANG Engineers Choose Between GCP AWS and Azure

from The Tech Career Podcast with Fexingo: Engineering Jobs, Interviews, and FAANG Career Strategy · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna break down the cloud platform decision that FAANG engineers face when building new services. They compare GCP, AWS, and Azure across cost, developer experience, and lock-in risk, using real examples like Google's BigQuery lock-in and AWS's Lambda pricing quirks. The episode explains how engineers at companies like Netflix and Pinterest made their cloud choices, and offers a framework for deciding which cloud to learn first when preparing for FAANG interviews. Key topics: cloud vendor lock-in, serverless trade-offs, multi-cloud strategy, and how cloud certifications impact your engineering career. Specific data includes AWS's 34% market share vs Azure's 23% and GCP's 11%, and the $10-million cost of a typical cloud migration at a large tech company. #AWS #Azure #GCP #CloudComputing #FAANG #EngineeringCareer #CloudCareer #MultiCloud #Serverless #VendorLockIn #TechInterview #CloudCertification #DevOps #PlatformEngineering #GoogleCloud #AmazonWebServices #MicrosoftAzure #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
