Through Google Cloud Platform for Startups, Google wants developers to focus on code and not worry about managing infrastructure. Starting today, startups can take advantage of this offer and begin using the same infrastructure platform that Google uses itself. For example, Headspace is helping millions of people keep their minds healthier and happier using Google Cloud Platform for Startups.
Thousands of startups have built successful applications on Google Cloud Platform and those applications have grown to serve tens of millions of users. It has been amazing to watch Snapchat send over 700 million photos and videos a day and Khan Academy teach millions of students.
