However, I was referring more to Google's general tendency to shut down projects across the board. The list of consumer products shut down by Google is pretty long (Google Reader, iGoogle, Aardvark, Google Inbox, Orkut, etc..)
I think both Fabric and Apigee API BaaS where indeed Google Cloud offerings. Google Search Appliance if I'm not wrong was part of something called Google Enterprise which eventually folded into GCP.
Thanks for pointing out my hypocrisy and why I don't have the right to have an opinion about anything anymore.
I also checked your profile and you're pretty good at defending everything Google does, but I don't judge you for having those opinions, nor I think you're a hypocrite for thinking in a certain way.
If I criticize Company A for doing something, and goes around and does the same thing then it'll be very hypocritical of me.
The product-market fit you mentioned doesnt just happen for startup, but for big companies as well. A dollar is a dollar everywhere you go. Just like you found it was OK for your company to sunset a certain product, big companies also decide to do that.
Also, please dont put words into my mouth. I didnt say you dont have a right to say things. You do. But when you do, and please be open to replies.
>> Apigee API BaaS, Fabric, Google Search Appliance...
Curious, what usually happens to the engineers on projects that get shut down? Do they get redeployed to other areas? What if the team is in a small office?
I've walked past the Apigee office in Reston, VA...what would happen to those engineers...i imagine there arent many other options for redeployment short of moving cities...
