Fully Managed MySQL
Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed database service that makes it easy to set up, maintain, manage, and administer your relational MySQL databases in the cloud. Our Cloud SQL Second Generation offers high performance, scalability, and convenience. Hosted on Google Cloud Platform, Cloud SQL provides a database infrastructure for applications running anywhere.
Focus on Your Application
Let Google manage your database, so you can focus on your applications. Cloud SQL is perfect for Wordpress sites, e-commerce applications, CRM tools, or any other application that is compatible with MySQL.
Simple & Fully Managed
Google Cloud SQL is easy to use. It doesn't require any software installation. It automates all your backups, replication, patches, and updates - while ensuring greater than 99.95% availability, anywhere in the world.
Improved Performance & Scalability
Google’s most powerful MySQL database service is now fully supported for all customers. It runs 7X faster and has 20X more storage capacity than its predecessor – with lower costs, higher scalability, and automated backups that can restore your database from any point in time.
Reliability & Security
Easily configure replication and backups to protect your data. Go further by enabling automatic failover to make your database highly available (HA). Your data is automatically encrypted and Cloud SQL is SSAE 16, ISO 27001, PCI DSS v3.0, and HIPAA compliant.
Pay Per Use Without Lock-in
Cloud SQL Second Generation introduces per-minute, pay per use billing, automatic sustained use discounts, and instance tiers to fit any budget. You won’t pay for unused time and with sustained use discounts, you automatically get discounted prices for databases that run continuously. Plus, there is no up-front commitment.
