At the end of page 2, there is a good ass licking bullshit sentence:

<< It’s also a great company to collaborate with. The tools provided by Google are very developer friendly, have a great documentation (for the most part), and are consistently expanding.>>

He said that as an ex googler and as the beneficiary of a gesture, but this contradict the full history he told us. If the doc and tools were so great, why he felt into this situation?

OP here.

Maybe it comes across like that, but as somebody building a product with very limited resources, Google's documentation is one of the best so far.

The situation was our fault too. I just went with a test and fail fast attitude, just like with every things we do a dev environment.

Let's be realistic. You are a team of a few persons, using a 'starting' free plan. How great tools and ux could lead you to not have clue on what they are doing and being able to incur a so high cost by surprise?

Also, for example, in which world is it nice to have your service "auto upgraded" from "trial" mode to 72k "full billing" mode without your consent first?
