In sintesi

Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database on GCP. Automatic backups, replication, failover, patching. Deploy PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server. Mastery takes 1-2 weeks. Salary premium minimal (5-10%) because it's a standard skill. High demand but low scarcity. Essential for backend engineers and data teams.

Cos'è GCP Cloud SQL

Cloud SQL is Google's fully managed relational database service. You choose PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server. Google handles provisioning, backups, replication, patching, and high availability. You connect like a normal database; all the operations overhead is gone. Perfect for applications that need relational data (structured schema, ACID transactions, complex queries). Small startups to enterprises use Cloud SQL.

❓ Domande frequenti

How does Cloud SQL differ from self-managed PostgreSQL?
Cloud SQL handles backups, patching, replication, failover automatically. Self-managed = you manage all this. Cloud SQL = pay for convenience. Pick Cloud SQL if you want simplicity. Pick self-managed if you need absolute control or cost savings.
Can I connect from my laptop to Cloud SQL?
Yes, via Cloud SQL Proxy or Cloud SQL Auth proxy. Secure tunnel. Or open firewall to your IP (not recommended for production). Best practice: use Cloud Proxy for development, private networking for production.
What's the difference between backups and snapshots?
Backups: automated daily, point-in-time recovery (PITR). Snapshots: manual snapshots you create. Both stored in Cloud Storage. Use backups for disaster recovery, snapshots for before major changes.
How do I scale Cloud SQL?
Vertical scaling: increase CPU/memory (restart required, downtime ~1 min). Horizontal scaling: read replicas for read-heavy workloads. No sharding built-in; shard at application level if needed.
What's the cost of Cloud SQL?
Hourly machine cost + storage + network. Example: db-f1-micro (shared) ~$7/mo, db-n1-standard-1 (1 CPU) ~$30/mo. Plus storage ($0.18/GB/mo) and backups. Monitor usage and right-size.
Can I migrate existing data to Cloud SQL?
Yes. Database Migration Service handles PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server migrations. Minimal downtime. Or manual migration (dump + restore) for small databases.
