Cloud SQL is a Managed Database

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Our 20-person company has a website that uses a mysql database. we used to run the database ourselves on a server, and it was always a pain to manage backups and updates. we moved to cloud sql.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

now, google manages the database for us. it does automatic backups and it's easy to set up a high-availability replica for failover. it gives me so much peace of mind knowing our database is being professionally managed.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is more expensive than running the database yourself. you are paying a premium for the convenience and the management. the cost for a high-availability instance can be quite high.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you don't want to be a database administrator, cloud sql is worth the extra cost.

Pros

Helps Innovate
