Google News, Wednesday, July 12,2023
Cloud SQL is Google Cloud's enterprise-ready, fully managed database service for running MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server workloads. It's used across industries from digital services to banking to retail, with more than 95% of Google Cloud's top 100 customers using Cloud SQL today. As more demanding workloads move to the cloud, some of you have been asking us for higher performance and availability. In addition, you've been asking us for more choice and flexibility to optimize your configurations for your individual workload needs.
Today, we're announcing the Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition for MySQL and PostgreSQL, featuring three major enhancements. First, we have significantly accelerated both read and write performance with a variety of software optimizations, improved machine types and configurations, and an integrated SSD-backed data cache option. With Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus for MySQL, we deliver up to 3x higher read throughput and up to a 2x improvement in write latency compared to the current Cloud SQL offering. Second, we deliver near-zero downtime for planned maintenance operations and a 99.99% availability SLA inclusive of maintenance to satisfy your availability goals for your business-critical applications. Third, we enhanced the data protection capabilities with 35 days of log retention, a must-have for all organizations with strict compliance requirements. Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition addresses these needs while building on the already proven capabilities of Cloud SQL.
The existing version of Cloud SQL will continue with no changes to features or pricing, but will now be known as the Cloud SQL Enterprise edition.
