Focus on your
application, and leave the database to us
Fully managed relational database service for
MySQL,
PostgreSQL,
and
SQL Server.
More than 95% of Google Cloud's top 100 customers use
Cloud SQL to run their businesses.
Cloud SQL manages your
databases so you don't have to, so your business can run
without disruption. It automates all your backups,
replication, patches, encryption, and storage capacity
increases to give your applications the reliability,
scalability, and security they need.
Cloud SQL supports the
most popular open source and commercial engines, including
MySQL,
PostgreSQL,
and
SQL Server
with rich support for extensions, configuration flags, and
popular developer tools. It's easy to get started—simply
bring your existing skills over and enjoy the flexibility to
work the way you want. You can create a database with just a
few clicks in the
console
and connect your application.
According to an
IDC study,
Cloud SQL customers achieved a three-year ROI of 246% and a
payback period of 11 months. You can scale as your
application grows, customize your machine types, and choose
different levels of performance and availability, up to a
99.99% availability SLA.
Committed use discounts
offer additional savings for 1 to 3 year commitments.
Extend your database
application to build AI-powered experiences using the
pgvector PostgreSQL extension, LangChain, and LLMs. Cloud
SQL for PostgreSQL is great for storing
vector embeddings
from your ML models.
No matter where your
database is located—whether on-premises, on
Compute Engine,
or in other
clouds—Database Migration Service
(DMS) can migrate it securely and with minimal downtime. DMS
leverages the native replication capabilities of the source
database to maximize the reliability of your migration. And
it’s available at no additional charge for migrations to
Cloud SQL.
View AI/ML-driven
insights and recommendations for performance, security,
reliability, and cost. Quickly understand and resolve
database performance issues through pre-built dashboards and
visual query plans using
Cloud SQL Insights.
Cloud SQL with
Active Assist
uses advanced analytics and ML to identify
over-provisioned
and
idle
instances in your fleet and alert you as needed.
Cloud SQL seamlessly
integrates with Google Cloud services such as
Compute Engine,
Cloud Run,
Google Kubernetes Engine,
and
Cloud IAM,
allowing developers to build and deploy applications with
ease. Provision your database via APIs and third-party
tools, and use federated queries from
BigQuery
and low-latency database replication with
Datastream
for near real-time insights on operational data.
Configure built-in high availability (HA) with automatic
failover across zones with just a click of a button to
provide isolation from many types of infrastructure,
hardware, and software failures. Optimize your database
costs depending on your application—choose a 99.99%
availability SLA (inclusive of maintenance) for
business-critical transactional workloads or a 99.95%
availability SLA to lower your costs.
Configure backups for
data protection and restore your instance to an
earlier point in time with a retention period of up to 35
days. Configure where your data is stored to comply with
data residency requirements. Cloud SQL automatically
encrypts data, is SSAE 16, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliant,
and supports HIPAA compliance.
Cloud SQL data is
encrypted when on Google’s internal networks and when stored
in database tables, temporary files, and backups. It
supports private connectivity with
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC),
and every Cloud SQL instance includes a network firewall,
allowing you to control public network access.
Scalability
Easily scale up as your
data grows—add processor cores, RAM, and storage, and scale
out by adding read replicas to handle increasing read
traffic. Cloud SQL can also automatically scale up storage
capacity when you are near your limit. Read replicas support
high availability, can have their own read replicas, and can
be located across regions and platforms.
Near-zero downtime for
maintenance
Cloud SQL offers
near-zero downtime of less than 10 seconds for planned
maintenance. It also offers flexible maintenance window
features like advance email notification and the ability to
reschedule by 28 days, pick specific times for maintenance,
and deny maintenance for up to 90 days.
Data cache
Cloud SQL can
automatically accelerate your applications using built-in
performance management techniques. Cloud SQL for MySQL also
leverages flash memory on your database instance to lower
read latency and improve throughput by intelligently caching
data across memory and high speed storage.
Change data capture and
replication
Stream data across
heterogeneous databases, storage systems, and applications
reliably and with minimal latency with
Datastream.
Scale up or down with a serverless architecture and no
resources to provision or manage, and enable near real-time
insights on operational data.
How It Works
Cloud SQL scales up in minutes and replicates data
across zones and regions. It uses agents for
maintenance, logging, monitoring, and configuration,
with services backed by a 24/7 SRE team. Manage your
database via the console, CLI, or REST API and connect
your app via standard database drivers.
Self-managing a database such
as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server can be
inefficient and expensive, with significant effort
around patching, hardware maintenance, backups,
and tuning. Migrating to a fully managed solution
has never been simpler—you can lift and shift your
database from any on-premises or cloud location
using Database Migration Service with minimal
downtime.
A cloud deployment is a good
opportunity to modernize your database environment
by transitioning off legacy, proprietary databases
and onto open source databases such as PostgreSQL.
With open source databases having become
enterprise-ready, you don't need to compromise on
performance, reliability, or security.
Cloud SQL accelerates
application development via integration with the
larger ecosystem of Google Cloud services, Google
partners, and the open source community, while
giving you the freedom to work the way you want.
Reuse your existing database skills while freeing
yourself from mundane database administration
tasks and leveraging AI/ML-driven insights and
recommendations.
Many software vendors build and
certify their applications for MySQL, PostgreSQL,
and SQL Server. Since Cloud SQL offers standard
versions of these databases including extensions,
configuration flags, and drivers, applications can
run unmodified. Make your journey to the cloud and
let us take tedious database administration tasks
off your plate.
