Google Cloud SQL is a database-as-a-service (DBaaS) with the capability and functionality of MySQL.GoogleSecond to none2019-04-10T18:04:30.202ZGoogle Cloud SQL is a managed SQL database service for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Since we use MySQL for some of our products, we moved our SQL tables schema and data from VMs to a Google Cloud SQL MySQL instance. This has helped us with simple backups/restorations, upgrades/downgrades, fine-tuning settings, and uptime. This also meant that if we had our MySQL running on a VM alongside other services and someone accidentally restarted/deleted the VM, then there's no need to worry about such situations if we are using the GCP's SQL.,It's easy to configure and use.
Built-in automatic data backups.
High availability instance failover.,Support for other open source SQL servers.
Lack of better information/documentation for failover configuration.,9,Google Cloud SQL has reduced our operational costs by not having to manage our own instance of the MySQL server.
Since code and SQL instance are now decoupled, it was possible to scale where we had to.,,Amazon Relational Database Service, Azure SQL DatabaseBhargav NanekalvaGreat cloud db offering2019-05-22T17:45:27.980ZGoogle Cloud SQL (MySQL) is used as the relational data store for our product. The ability to scale up, have read replicas, and have automatic failover built into the offering are really nice features. The automated backup feature is nice as well. To have 7 days of backups available at any time without having to support the processes necessary to make that happen is great.,Automatic failover to another region in case the database goes down.
Easily scale the instance up if more processing power or memory is required.,Automatic backup validation. The backups are performed on a daily basis within the selected window, however, they are not validated. This means the backup could be reported as successful but ultimately be unusable in a situation where it is needed. We got around this issue by periodically validating on our own by spinning up a box, restoring the backup to the new instance, and then destroying the instance after validation. It's not perfect, but is a good sanity check to make sure our backups are valid in case we do need them.,8,It has allowed us to focus on our product/database and not worry about the infrastructure as much. This is a big benefit for a smaller company with limited resources.,Azure SQL Database,Google BigQuery, Google App Engine, Google AuthenticatorVerified UserGoogle Cloud SQL Review from a daily user2017-10-02T15:21:09.114ZWe have been using it mainly whenever we need structured data.
Use case:
- Historical pricing of products (Archive),Super easy to set up: new instance -> Authorization -> play
Automatic backup every night! (Keeps past 7 days as copy as well)
Automatic failover, in case your main SQL instance fails, they automatically switch you over.,It could be cheaper. Definitely cheaper.
It could provide more information about failovers.
It could allow you to customize more.,7,Saved about 60% from moving to custom SQL instances
99% faster deployment = lower cost for deployment in man-hours

It's being used for every site that we currently have on Google Cloud, and are in the process of moving more sites over to this platform. Having everything on Google's infrastructure makes everything easy to manage and Google Cloud SQL is insanely fast.,It's insanely fast.
Easy integration with Google Cloud hosted services.
It's backed by Google's infrastructure, which is always good.,Connecting to it for the first time is a little confusing.
An interface for interacting with the data would be awesome.,10,No need for a dedicated MySQL VM, which saves money.
Has resulted in faster loading websites, which affects the bottom line.,MySQL,Apache Web Server, Nginx, WordPressTyler Longren
