GCP is best for small businesses that have a developer on staff and need serious cloud infrastructure or want to build AI-powered apps using Google's tools like Vertex AI or BigQuery. The $300 free credit is a great way to test things out, and the pay-as-you-go pricing means you only pay for what you use. That said, this platform is complex — if you don't have technical help, you'll likely feel lost fast and could end up with surprise bills if you're not careful.
