2014 Year in Review: To our customers, “Happy coding to all, and to all a good night!”
Thursday, December 25, 2014
Today’s post is the latest installation in our 2014 Google Cloud Platform Year in Review. Every day until January, we will be featuring a different Googler sharing their highlight from the past year in Cloud Platform.
As the lucky person who makes our Cloud Platform customer stories heard, I witness innovation of all shapes and sizes from companies solving a range of problems. It amazes me to see just what can be built on our platform, often in a short amount of time and with limited resources.
In the spirit of this innovation, I wanted to add a bit of creative holiday flair to my Year in Review post. Please read the following with the well-known poem
“A Visit from St. Nicholas”
in mind, and learn about some of my favorite customer stories from the year.
‘Twas the year of 2014, and all through our cloud
Were innovative customers making us proud.
They build on our platform day after day,
Impacting their industries in tangible ways.
There’s
Framestore
, making movies like Gravity shine,
And

Developers whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“App Engine! Cloud Storage! BigQuery! Cloud SQL!
Compute Engine, and Dataflow-- we love them all equal!”
And we exclaimed to our customers, who bring us such delight,
“Happy coding to all, and to all a good night!”
