GCP provides infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and serverless computing.
It started with App Engine in 2008, a platform for web applications. It became available to the public in 2011. Since then, Google has added more services to the platform.
Google Cloud Platform is part of Google Cloud.[3] The latter includes public cloud infrastructure, Google Workspace (G Suite), enterprise versions of Android and ChromeOS, and APIs for machine learning and mapping services.
