Somewhat related, but I'm looking at hosting solutions for a hobby SaaS I'm building, and I would like to use google cloud run, but the cloud sql pricing seems extremely expensive if you want HA and are just starting up. They also don't seem to offer any cloud sql as part of their free like like AWS does with RDS, it just seems very odd.
I looked at Planetscale thinking I might be willing to just use MySQL, but even if I were to take a risk with their confusing pricing it turns out there are no foreign keys.
And there is no equivalent of Cloud run on AWS.
It just seems like there is a gap here in when it comes to managed databases, not just GCP laking any kind of "free tier" option, but just a lack of players in the space between free and established business pricing for HA.
- samlambert 3y agoWe have FKs and new pricing coming soon.
- JoshGlazebrook 3y agoI've been reading this on reddit for quite a while, what quarter might "soon" be?

Use serverless cockroachdb. Yugabyte also has a free tier. As does Fauna and Planetscale.

You can always pull out a single one when issues arise. Make your life easy, tons of applications are running for years even without (good) backups
