Continue to leverage the MySQL ecosystem and administration tools, such as MySQL Workbench, mysqldump, phpMyAdmin, dbForge Studio, Toad Edge for MySQL, and the MySQL CLI, which is integrated in our Cloud SDK. Experience full support for all current versions of MySQL, and get access to nearly 200 flags to optimize your environment. Get started fast with easy, serverless migrations using Database Migration Service.

Easily configure built-in high availability with automatic failover across zones to protect your applications from a variety of possible failures. 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. Cloud SQL for MySQL offers up to 99.99% availability SLA for the most demanding workloads featuring maintenance and instance scale-up with typically sub-second downtime.

Database Migration Service makes it easy to migrate databases from on-premises, Compute Engine, and other clouds to Cloud SQL for MySQL with minimal downtime. DMS leverages the native replication capabilities of the source database to maximize the reliability of your migration. Lift and shift migrations to Cloud SQL are available at no additional charge.

Automate daily backups and binary logging to restore your instance to its state at an earlier point in time with a retention period of up to 35 days.

Configure where your data is stored to comply with data residency requirements. Cloud SQL automatically encrypts data, is SSAE 16, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliant, and supports HIPAA compliance.

Access Cloud SQL for MySQL instances from just about any application. Seamlessly connect from Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Google Kubernetes Engine, and your workstation. Provision your database via APIs and third-party tools, and use federated queries from BigQuery and low-latency database replication with Datastream for near real-time insights on operational data.

Easily scale up as your data grows—add up to 128 processor cores, 864 GB of RAM, and 70 TB of storage. Add read replicas, cross-region read replicas, cascading read replicas, and external read replicas to handle increasing read traffic. Automatic storage increases eliminate the need to estimate future storage needs or spend money on capacity before you need it.

Fast, automated maintenance keeps your instances patched and stable. Cloud SQL for MySQL offers sub-second downtime for planned maintenance, and all availability SLAs (up to 99.99%) are inclusive of maintenance. Receive notifications up to 5 weeks 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.

Easily build gen AI applications that are 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.

The data cache leverages flash memory on your MySQL database instances to lower read latency and improve throughput by intelligently caching data across memory and high speed local storage.
