Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL now generally available

We actually just migrated off yesterday... we went with an independent vendor like Aiven instead of the clouds because they move too slowly and don't have enough features.

Like aiven or aiven? :) I’m not aware of too much competition in this space. We’re happy with aiven so far, but they’re quite unknown / under the radar it seems...

They're the best we've found as well, but there are lots of managed database providers of all kinds. https://www.compose.com is another big one.

We’re using compose for redis, but we might switch it to aiven as well, despite aiven having some missing functionality...

For Gcloud and especially in Europe, I think these two are the only options that I’m aware of (at least for PG and redis)

If you want managed Redis, there’s nothing better than RedisLabs

Yeah, I was practically begging them to offer service on GCloud in europe ... :) but they don't cover it...

[I'm the Cloud SQL TL] What features would've kept you on Cloud SQL?

Major: Upgrade to latest version, 9.6 is 18 months old. Cross-region replication.

Minor: less downtime for maintenance, point-in-time restore
