The new edition has optimized performance, improved machine configurations, and an integrated option for data cache backed by SSD.

For MySQL, as per the cloud provider, it provides a 3 times higher throughput for reading and a 2 times higher improvement in writing latency, as compared to the existing Cloud SQL. In addition, it also reduces maintenance downtime, providing log retention for 35 days for compliance requirements.

“Data cache leverages flash memory as a way to transparently extend caches based on DRAM, lowering read latency, improving throughput, and scaling to larger data sets. Additionally, software optimizations deliver up to a 2x reduction in transaction commit latency and up to a 2x improvement in write throughput, making Cloud SQL the best destination for your most demanding MySQL workloads,” says the VP of Engineering at Google Cloud Databases, Andi Gutmans.

For the Enterprise edition, this new version supports nearly 96 CPUs with a memory for 624 GB and 128 CPUs with 864 GB memory for the Enterprise Plus edition. It costs 30% more than the existing version but Gutmans says that the cost difference is dependent on the workload.

While an upgrade option in-place will be available in future, migration right now requires Database Migration Service. This new edition is accessible in regions including Belgium, Taiwan, Singapore, Iowa, Belgium, and South Carolina.
