About

Google Cloud is a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google that runs on the same global infrastructure used to power its own products.

It includes infrastructure and platform services such as Compute Engine virtual machines, App Engine platform hosting, Google Kubernetes Engine, serverless compute with Cloud Run, object and block storage, scalable relational and NoSQL databases, and CDN.

Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and scale web applications without managing underlying infrastructure.

It provides isolated containers called Dynos, which are based on LXC (older Cedar generation) and Kubernetes (new Fir generation), and managed data services including Postgres, Key-Value Store, and Apache Kafka.
