Don’t forget the rapid and severe Google maps price increases. These are the gift that will keep on giving for Microsoft and Amazon in the mindshare of developers and business leaders.
Do most enterprise companies care about the price of Google Maps? My company hosts on AWS, Azure and GCP, and I couldn't tell you how much Google Maps costs (or indeed, that there was even a paid tier, though it makes sense for embedded maps and such).
Today's developer is tomorrow's enterprise architect.
I have to thank Google for that, it was probably the quickest way to drive more competition in the maps space.
Am not too well-read on this - what are some good AWS/MS alternatives to Google Maps?
