> also, I can't help but imagine if instead of render, it was Apple's account which could've been auto-banned (Render is almost a billion dollar company or series-B, I am not sure)

I believe you mean Railway.

Render (a $1.5B company) has been hosting customers on GCP since 2018, and has never been banned.

Yes sorry I meant railway rather than render so sorry about that, it was more of an honest mistake!

speaking of which, I have a question for render but how does render prevent something like what has happened with railway (ie. the account getting banned), I would love to know more about what the team at render thinks of such and also I would love to get some thoughts on why Render is using GCP, I would love to know some architectural decisions behind it as I am curious about it!

Once again, thanks for responding to me and waiting for your response and have a nice day anurag!

Without knowing more about why Railway was banned, it's hard to say how we would prevent it. Render uses GCP, AWS, and now, our own hardware [1]; GCP is mostly a historical artifact; we started using AWS for most things after dealing with poor customer and sales support from GCP a few years ago.
