DO wants to be but it will take years for it to catch up. On a personal development level I have used DO but professionally I use GCP mostly because their GKE and Athos services are in a different universe than any competition.
It takes a lot of work to make up for what competitors lack, usually money that my customers won't invest.
On the audio books side, I just care for audio books as long as there is no subscription involved and from what I read, Spotify's service comes with a subscription.
Isn't DigitalOcean the same niche as GCP?
For audio books, Spotify announced a podcast/audio-streaming platform this week

In any case, I have a rule that for software development/professional work it is fine to use Big Tech products.
