Azure: Known for reliability, scalability, and security AWS and GCP: Competitive pricing models and easy to use
“Each has its benefits and drawbacks. Azure offers you the freedom to choose the infrastructure you want, while Google Cloud provides a reliable platform trusted by millions of users worldwide.
Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are battle-tested cloud platforms for their high reliability, scalability, and security. To start with, both of these platforms come with a series of prebuilt services like website hosting, email hosting, database hosting, etc., so if you don't have any idea where to start building your app, then go with one of these two cloud providers. Microsoft has put much effort into developer friendliness, documentation & support, learning curve, etc., which are leading advantages over the Google Cloud platform.
When choosing a cloud service provider (CSP) for your software development needs, you should consider multiple factors. Among them are the cost and performance of the service, the availability of services in that CSP, the available support options, and the experience of the CSP's team. As with most things in life, the cost is an essential factor to consider when choosing a CSP. For software development projects, however, you should also look at additional factors such as the performance and availability of the service.
Additionally, if you are working on a custom application that requires a specific level of support or customization, you may want to look for a CSP that has a team that specializes in building software for your particular industry or niche. AWS is likely to be the most cost-effective option for software development projects due to its lower prices and generous credit allowance policies. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is also a viable option due to its pricing model and ease of use. However, due to Google's dominant market position in technology, it is challenging to recommend GCP over AWS for most software development projects.”
