Low code? Low usage, more like: Add G Suite's App Maker to the Google graveyard, it's switching off next year
Appmaker was treated just like all those other too good sci fi shows on TV when that had schedules.
Piddled around and hidden behind the sofa. Oh and you had to have the right subscription.
Not properly linked from the menus, had to spin up a 'default sql instance' on cloud in order to use _any_ sql.
As with so many things people make, it was almost good. Almost just enough to get people going. But no. They went and ****ed up just a few details to make it die an early and broadly ignored death.

When my infra cocks up it knocks out a project or 3 for a while.
When GCP cocks up it knocks out many, many projects for a while.
Question is, for -me- are they more likely to cockitup, or me? I still think that for anything outside my core skillset and that of those around me, it's a fair bet that theirs will be significantly better, with the added advantage that when they _do_ mess up, it's pub time not panic stations.
