Ask HN: Are there any good alternative Google Cloud Platform docs/examples?
I find it much harder to get new things done with GCP compared to AWS. It's more difficult to understand the GCP concepts from the docs alone. The examples are often incomplete and assume knowledge from three other places while dependencies and requirements are never just listed but linked indirectly through some git repo elsewhere. AWS feels more solution oriented (as in products) whereas GCP seems more feature oriented (as in engineering).
For example there is one documentation for datastore queries [1] and one for appengine datastore queries [2], but the docs were seemingly written by different groups?
Are there any good alternative learning resources?

PS: The capabilities of GCP are awesome so its worth it / AWS docs also have their weak spots / all subjective personal opinions
