Is point in time recovery available now in GA? I had checked it a couple of weeks ago for the beta service and it was not available. I think for a managed DB hosting point in time recovery is a critical feature.

[I'm the Cloud SQL TL] No, it isn't. We agree with you that it's an important feature for managed databases, and we're working to get it right. We decoupled it from this launch to get PostgreSQL to GA faster.

Unrelated to pg but could you badger the spanner team to make a mini spanner product :)

Related to postgres. We have many many concurrent connections but a load satisfied by an n1-standard-4 atm do you recommend a connection pooler or something to help us get down to the 100 to 200 connections we need to be at to use cloudsql?

Connection pooling is recommended for any non-trivial PG deployment. I can recommend pgbouncer, worked flawlessly for us.

[I'm the Cloud SQL TL] We do recommend connection pooling whenever possible. You save server resources, but you also save connection latency.

A mini spanner product in what sense?

(I am also a Google employee, totally unrelated to this product).

Yes, "TL" is Google jargon for Tech Lead.
