Database observability for DevOps
Quickly understand and resolve database performance issues on Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL using Cloud SQL Insights. Identify the root cause of issues using pre-built dashboards and visual query plans. Quickly access database metrics and traces in existing tools using OpenTelemetry. Monitor databases through the lens of your applications using query tags. Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL also supports integrations with Gemini platform for model serving and inferencing with the familiarity of SQL.
Maintenance on your terms
Fast, automated maintenance keeps your instances patched and stable. Cloud SQL offers near-zero downtime of less than ten seconds for planned maintenance, and all availability SLAs (up to 99.99%) are inclusive of maintenance. Receive notifications a week in advance so that you can plan around maintenance better and apply controls, such as a week-long postponement or a deny period of up to 90 days.
High performance and security
Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL uses built-in software optimizations to improve write throughput. Your data is secured with automatic encryption at rest and in transit, with integrated support for customer-managed encryption keys, Cloud IAM database authentication, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and user-controlled network access with firewall protection to control public network access.
Key integrations built in
You can access Cloud SQL from virtually any application. Easily connect from Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run, or your workstation. Deliver change streams from your Oracle and MySQL databases into Cloud SQL with Datastream. Visualize your data with Looker. Combine the power of Firebase with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL as your backend with Firebase SQL Connect. Open analytics possibilities by using BigQuery to directly query your databases. And build AI-powered experiences using the pgvector extension, LangChain, and LLMs.
We have migrated around 65% of our Oracle footprint to Cloud SQL for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and moving off of our Oracle footprint remains a strategic priority for us.

Gemini in Databases
Simplify all aspects of the database journey with AI-powered assistance, helping teams focus on what matters most. Gemini in Cloud SQL, in preview, enables developers, operators, and database administrators to build applications quickly using natural language, and helps manage, optimize, and govern an entire fleet of databases with a single pane of glass.
Fully managed
Cloud SQL automatically ensures your PostgreSQL databases are reliable, secure, and scalable so that your business continues to run without disruption. Cloud SQL automates all your backups, failover, replication, encryption patches, and capacity increases—while ensuring greater than 99.95% availability, anywhere in the world.
Flexible instance shapes
Flexible instance shapes, scale compute, storage, memory independently to better fit your workload needs as they evolve over time.
Easy scalability
Easily scale up as your data grows—add up to 96 processor cores, 624 GB of RAM, and 60 TB of storage. Add read replicas to handle increasing read traffic. Automatic storage increases eliminate the need to estimating future storage needs or spending money on capacity before you need it.
Automatic backups
Automate daily backups and binary logging to restore your instance to its state at an earlier point in time. Retain your backups for up to one year.
Built-in high availability
Ensure data reliability at all times. Use high availability to recover from an incident with zero data loss. Automated backups and point-in-time recovery guard against user error. Use cross-region replicas and global VPCs to simplify protecting your data in the event of a disaster.
Robust instance-level security controls
Simplified secure access with IAM authentication and Cloud SQL Proxy. Data is always encrypted: over Google's networks, and when stored in database tables, temporary files, and backups, with optional support for customer managed encryption keys (CMEK). Connectivity controls with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and integrated firewall. Audit logging tracks who did what when.
Comprehensive compliance controls
Cross region replicas provide data residency controls. Access Transparency captures all actions on your instances by Google Cloud personnel. Compliant with SSAE 16, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other local regulations.
Vector Search
Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL supports two search approaches for balancing speed and accuracy. Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) vector search is ideal for large datasets where close matches suffice, while exact k-nearest neighbor (KNN) vector search is used for precision. Integrate vector search directly into your existing database for real-time search context without learning a separate system.
LangChain integration
Easily build gen AI applications that are more accurate, transparent, and reliable with LangChain integration. Cloud SQL has three LangChain integrations - Document loader for loading and storing information from documents, Vector stores for enabling semantic search, and Chat Messages Memory for enabling chains to recall previous conversations. Visit the GitHub repository to learn more.
