Google Cloud SQL

Google Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database service that runs on Google Cloud Platform. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases, handling tasks like backups, replication, patches, and updates automatically. This allows developers to focus on application development rather than database administration.

Also known as: GCP SQL, Cloud SQL, Google SQL, GCloud SQL, GC SQL
🧊Why learn Google Cloud SQL?

Developers should use Google Cloud SQL when building applications on Google Cloud Platform that require a managed relational database with high availability, scalability, and security. It's ideal for web applications, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise systems where automated maintenance and integration with other Google Cloud services (like App Engine or Compute Engine) are beneficial.
