Moving past third-party services – the beauty of end-to-end tooling
Developers building applications on traditional architectures and on-premises infrastructure would often use the help of third-party services to accelerate productivity. Using third-party services meant that developers wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel every time, saving a lot of time and also simplifying their workflows. But third-party services always had challenges: integration nightmares, lack of technical support, compatibility with other services, and limited scope were some of the top complaints.

Cloud vendors such as Google Cloud have already created a huge ecosystem of services, giving developers the ability to build applications from start to finish without ever leaving the ecosystem – end-to-end tooling. They have all of the convenience of third-party services and none of the problems.
