Is it just me or does Google Cloud SQL seem extremely expensive compared to the alternatives (RDS, etc)?

- timdorr 11y agoIt's just you. Looking at Amazon's m4 instances vs Google's standard instances. n1-standard-2=$0.1930 db.m4.large=$0.175 n1-standard-4=$0.3860 db.m4.xlarge=$0.35 n1-standard-8=$0.7720 db.m4.2xlarge=$0.70 n1-standard-16=$1.5445 db.m4.4xlarge=$1.401 That's without Google's sustained use discount, so it comes out as cheaper most of the time.
- obulpathi 11y agoNot for me! They are pretty much comparable. Google's sustained use discounts mean no lock-in, lower price and flexibility too! Considering the fact that Google Cloud's disks are way faster than AWS's disks, your overall price is much lower with Google Cloud.
