Key features
Key features
Fully managed
Cloud SQL automatically ensures your databases are reliable, secure, and scalable so that your business continues to run without disruption. Cloud SQL automates all your backups, replication, encryption patches, and capacity increases—while ensuring greater than 99.95% availability, anywhere in the world. Learn more about Cloud SQL availability features in this guide.
Integrated
Access Cloud SQL instances from just about any application. Easily connect from App Engine, Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and your workstation. Open up analytics possibilities by using BigQuery to directly query your Cloud SQL databases.
Reliable
Easily configure replication and backups to protect your data. Go further by enabling automatic failover to make your database highly available. Your data is automatically encrypted, and Cloud SQL is SSAE 16, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliant and supports HIPAA compliance.
Easy migrations to Cloud SQL
Database Migration Service (DMS) makes it easy to migrate your production databases to Cloud SQL with minimal downtime. This serverless offering eliminates the hassle of manually provisioning, managing, and monitoring migration-specific resources. DMS leverages the native replication capabilities of MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Oracle to maximize the fidelity and reliability of your migration. And it’s available at no additional charge for migrations to Cloud SQL. Learn more.

Use cases
Use cases
Google Kubernetes Engine enables rapid development by making it easy to deploy, update, and manage your applications and services. Cloud SQL makes it easy to set up, manage, and administer your PostgreSQL databases on Google Cloud. This use case is a building block of a microservices architecture that is backed by an independent storage service, decentralizing data management and ensuring that each service is independently scalable.

All features
All features
| Fast, easy migrations | Database Migration Service makes it easy to migrate databases from on-premises, Compute Engine, and other clouds to Cloud SQL with minimal downtime. |
| Secure access and connectivity | Cloud SQL data is encrypted when on Google’s internal networks and when stored in database tables, temporary files, and backups. Cloud SQL supports private connectivity with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and every Cloud SQL instance includes a network firewall, allowing you to control public network access to your database instance. |
| Built-in high availability |
Replicate your instance to another zone or region with just a click of a button. Leverage built-in HA to provide isolation from many types of infrastructure hardware, and software failures. Learn more about Cloud SQL availability features in this guide. |
| 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. Read replicas support high availability, can have their own read replicas, and can be located across regions and platforms. |
| Automatic storage increases | Cloud SQL can automatically scale up storage capacity when you are near your limit. This way you don’t have to spend time estimating future storage needs or spend money on capacity until you need it. |
| Cloud SQL Insights | Quickly understand and resolve database performance issues on Cloud SQL. Pre-built dashboards and visual query plans help developers identify the root cause of problems. Access database metrics and traces in existing tools using OpenTelemetry. Monitor databases through the lens of the application using query tags. Available now for PostgreSQL and MySQL. |
| High performance | Cloud SQL supports performance-intensive workloads with very high IOPS and no extra cost for IO. |
| Easy integration | Access Cloud SQL instances from just about any application. Easily connect from App Engine, Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and your workstation. Open up analytics possibilities by using BigQuery to directly query your Cloud SQL databases. |
| Real-time change data capture and replication | Synchronize data across heterogeneous databases, storage systems, and applications reliably and with minimal latency with Datastream. Seamlessly deliver change streams from Oracle and MySQL databases into Google Cloud services such as BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Storage, and Cloud Spanner for up-to-date information. |
| Automatic backups | Automate daily backups and binary logging (for replication or point-in-time recovery). |
| Point-in-time recovery | Restore your instance to its state at an earlier point in time. |
| Compatibility | Build and deploy for the cloud faster because Cloud SQL offers standard MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server databases, ensuring application compatibility. |
| Standard APIs | Build and deploy for the cloud faster because Cloud SQL offers standard MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases, ensuring application compatibility. Use standard connection drivers and built-in migration tools to get started quickly. |
