I'm unfamiliar with the Google Apps Add-On API and how Add-Ons are installed/hosted/executed. What machine is connecting to the database? The user's, your server or Google's server? I'm asking because if the database is required to be publicly accessible over the internet that seems like a deal breaker.

Our servers. We don't require to make databases open to the world, but we do ask that our IP is whitelisted. We use lambda functions to run the queries.

  You might consider building and providing a docker container for on-prem use when a database cannot be exposed to the world.

    Yes. We'll likely take this on-prem approach

  If you're connecting over the internet without a VPN or SSH tunnel then you're requiring databases be open to the world, regardless of any firewalls that sit in front of it. Having worked on the infrastructure side of things I can't imagine that any serious companies would be amenable to such an arrangement.
