At my org we have some legacy software that uses the google analytics api. As you may be aware, that api has been discontinued for some reason. This application is going to nearly impossible to port to the new api.

There is no way to bring back the old api so we are looking at a few weeks of parcial downtime. I only took me a few weeks to figure that out.

Google cloud console is one of the most confusing websites I have ever seen. Each function is a separate page that has 300 menus and drop downs that take you to seperate pages. You want to see api permissions? Api permission manager. You want to see analytics? Analytics manager. You want to turn on a new api? Separate page.

Why!

I'm the first to shit on Google, but this change was communicated so far in advance it really is on OP and his company. They could have been ready long ago.

It's like the people bitching about MS changing Azure AD to Entra and how they have to rewrite part of their automation flow. But the module to access Azure AD has been on the depreciation path for over a year.
