Google Cloud SQL is now accessible from just about any application, anywhere
October 30, 2013
Google Cloud SQL
is a fully managed MySQL service hosted on Google Cloud Platform. Today, we are embracing open standards and expanding customers’ choice of tools, technologies and architectures by adding support for
native MySQL connections
.
MySQL Wire Protocol is the standard connection protocol for MySQL databases. It lets you access your replicated, managed, Cloud SQL database from just about any application, running anywhere. Here are some of the top features enabled by the MySQL Wire Protocol:
Low latency connections from applications running on
Google Compute Engine
and
Google App Engine
Use all your favourite tools such as
MySQL Workbench
,
Toad
and the
MySQL command-line tool
to manage your Cloud SQL instances
Use
standard drivers
, such as Connector/J, Connector/ODBC, and Connector/NET, making it exceptionally easy to access Cloud SQL from most applications
Replication to external MySQL databases for low latency connections and easy migration
Native connectivity also gives you great flexibility and control over managing and deploying your cloud databases. For example, you can use
DBMoto
from HiTSW to replicate data between Cloud SQL and on-premise databases -- including Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2. And you can use DBShards from CodeFutures to manage sharding across Cloud SQL instances, and migrate on- and off-cloud with no downtime.
Genoo
, a SaaS provider of online marketing tools, has already put wire protocol support to use. They were outgrowing their existing cloud services provider, but were worried about migrating a live application to another environment. So Kim Albee, Genoo’s founder and President, turned to
DBShards
who used native connectivity to migrate Genoo’s database without any service disruption. She said, "I've been amazed by what Cloud SQL's support for native connections can do. Before this feature, migrating between cloud providers would have been too costly."
