vlastikon I think GCP is better than AWS (2020)

Not in my experience, unfortunately. The reps we got with GCP could give us advice, but no real powers to push stuff or solve problems, it felt more like L1 support. As described bellow, maybe it depends on a company size and/or a country.

Maybe it also depends on a country? In my country the AWS support is incomparable.

That's exactly why would I newer support opting for GCP.

With AWS, we have our account manager, whom I can call and he actually has some powers and can fix and do stuff for us.

I don't agree, I'm hosting my email myself on a Debian VPS with installed http://iredmail.org/. I have unlimited domains, customizations, full control and there is virtually no maintenance needed, just regular updates.

vlastikon Reasons to Choose Opera over Chrome

You can use Chromium. There is no way using closed source Opera is safer than open source Chromium.

vlastikon RoR or web2py

My opinion:

Web2py is easier and more fun to use.

RoR is a lot more widely adapted, so it's better choice for your career (than Web2py or even Django). But I don't like it, because I find it bloated (like a slow and fat man) and overcomplicated.
