Episode notes
Google's Full-Stack Hyperscaler Pitch
- Google Cloud claims a full-stack position: chips, data tools, models and openness to third-party models.
- That combination is driving strong enterprise momentum and faster hyperscaler growth.
Pick Cloud Partners For Product Primitives
- Choose cloud partners for both technical fit and long-term product primitives like runtimes and scaling.
- Replit bet on Google Cloud in 2018 for its runtime and primitives, and it paid off as they scaled.
Models Plus Cheap Runtime Unlock Vibe Coding
- Gemini 3 and Google Cloud Run together provide a portfolio of models and affordable scaling for production vibe coding.
- That combo helps nontechnical teams move from idea to production cheaply and quickly.
