Google Cloud SQL vs. Redis Cloud

Does what it promises well, for instance, as a sidecar for the main enterprise data warehouse. However, I would not recommend using it as the main data warehouse, particularly due to the heavy business logic, as other dedicated tools are more suitable for ensuring scalable operations in terms of change management and multi-developer adjustments.

Redis Cloud is great for quick and easy development as well as deployment. It's reliable in production and makes a great primary Redis solution.

• Very easy to use and migrate existing database systems to Google Cloud SQL system
• Easy to query with real-time query assessment as well as processing metrics to help optimize the queries
• No need to learn any other querying language (like in Hadoop ecosystem), as SQL works pretty fine
• Easy-to-use GCP portal to type in queries and see the results on the screen (no need to go on command line )
• Easy to set up

Incentivized

• Ease of setup and deployment via Heroku
• Reliability and splicity
• Fair pricing

• Increasing support for more database engines may enable a wider range of application needs to be met.
• Implementing and updating cutting-edge security features on a constant basis.
• Streamlining and enhancing the tools for transferring data to Google Cloud SQL from on-premises databases or other cloud providers.

• The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

It fits the current needs and bandwith of out lean organization.

As with other cloud tools, users must learn a new terminology to navigate the various tools and configurations, and understand Google Cloud's configuration structure to perform even the most basic operations. So the learning curve is quite steep, but after a few months, it gets easier to maintain.

GCP support in general requires a support agreement. For small organizations like us, this is not affordable or reasonable. It would help if Google had a support mechanism for smaller organizations. It was a steep learning curve for us because this was our first entry into the cloud database world. Better documentation also would have helped.

Unlike other products, Google Cloud SQL has very flexible features that allow it to be selected for a free trial account so that the product can be analyzed and tested before purchasing it. Integration capabilities with most of the web services tools are easier regarding Google Cloud SQL with its nature and support.

We primarily selected Redis Cloud for 3 reason—it's performance and reliability, the overall low cost, and it can easily be scaled to meet our needs as we grow. More secondary to those reasons were the ease of use and how it could be used within our current technology stack without issue.

• The first one is it's performance is very good and it comes up with different solution.
• Security can be improved for external resources or the schemas which are selected in it.
• It can be more fragile so one can use it in the business purposes and this will make it a great product.

Incentivized

• Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.
