What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

It is fully managed services which means we have to focus on building application without bothering about the infrastructure. Databases are accessible even when infrastructure fails due to its high availability feature. It also provides us scalability meaning by increasing CPU, memory database resources can be scaled up. Conviniently integrates with other google cloud services. Security features like data encryption protects database from unwanted access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

Few things which I did not like -

1. It does not allow you to migrate to other cloud. It are bound with GCP ecosystem.

2. It gives you fw database options. Does not support database engine like Oracle and NoSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud SQL solving and how is that benefiting you?
