Google Cloud SQL

Google Cloud SQL is a web service that allows you to create, configure, and use relational databases that live in Google's cloud. It is a fully-managed service that maintains, manages and administers your databases, allowing you to focus on your applications and services.

By Offering the capabilities of a familiar MySQL database, the service enables you to easily move your data, applications, and services in and out of the cloud. This enables high data portability and helps you achieve faster time to market because you can quickly leverage your existing database.

There is a range of configuration from small instances costing just $0.025 per hour up to high end instances with 16GB of RAM and 100GB of data storage. The per user billing option means you only pay for your instances while it is being accessed. The package option has lower and more predictable costs for instances that are frequently accessed.

Highlights:
  • Easy to use - A graphical interface allows you to create, configure, manage and monitor your database instances, with  just a click.
  • Fully Managed - No worrying about tasks such as replication, patch management, or backups. These are all taken care of.
  • Highly Available - Features like automatic replication across multiple geographic regions are built in, so the service is available, and your data is preserved, even if a database become unavailable. Databases can be created and replicated in data-centers in either the EU or the US. You can choose whether to use synchronous or asynchronous replication.
  • Integrated with Google App Engine and other Google services - Tight integration with Google App Engine and other Google services enable you to work across multiple products easily, get more value from your data, move your data into and out of the cloud and get better performance.
  • Exceptional Security -  Google provides cloud services in a manner drawn from its experience with operating its own business, as well as its core services like Google Search. Security is a design component of each of Google's cloud computing elements, such as compartmentalization, server assignment, data storage, and processing.
