Production-grade GCP services require infrastructure investment that compounds multiplicatively: Cloud SQL demands concurrent investment in HA (2x cost for idle standby), read replicas (capped at 10, no independent backups), and private networking (peering-constrained), while Cloud Interconnect requires geometric scaling (2x bandwidth + 2x metros for 99.99% SLA) — each service's production readiness is independently expensive with no cross-service economy of scale.
