Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud SQL
Google Cloud SQL is used across technology, analytics and BI teams to store relational databases, tables, and run queries to fetch data from these databases.
Business problems addressed:
Business problems addressed:
- Joining data tables from different databases to give a combined view of attributes and records
- Run SQL queries to fetch raw data and prepare product usage reports on top of it
- Prepare an automated data API workflow to be sent directly to BI systems to generate automatic reports
- Very easy to use and migrate existing database systems to Google Cloud SQL system
- Easy to query with real-time query assessment as well as processing metrics to help optimize the queries
- No need to learn any other querying language (like in Hadoop ecosystem), as SQL works pretty fine
- Easy-to-use GCP portal to type in queries and see the results on the screen (no need to go on command line )
- Easy to set up
- Lack of latency with quota size increasing
- Can't customize an instance’s IP
- Bit more expensive than some other players in the market, for instance, while downloading information
- With managed database system, it has given us near 100% data availability
- It has also improved web layer experience with faster processing and authentication using database fields
- Google Cloud SQL also gels up well with Google Analytics and other analytics systems for us to join up different data points and process them for deeper dives and analysis
