Sorry for technical tangent but curious. Your decision making on GCP appears to appeal to best of breed + cost. But you put SQL Server on AWS? If you are saying SQL Server is better on AWS than on Azure it would be interesting to learn why.

We need MySQL 8 because of window functions, which GCP does not offer. That is available on AWS.

My bad. A clever marketing decision made me see the capital SQL as SQL Server since I am used to people saying Postgres, MySQL or SQL.

I see. Curious about the latency between your GCP apps and the database on AWS - is it like 1 ms or 100ms? Does it affect the product?

About 4ms for us. However, we chose our data centres on both ends very carefully. There are tables online you can find that for those pings, one such is here: https://medium.com/@sachinkagarwal/public-cloud-inter-region...

However this means we are paying for egress on both sides. This was something we chose to eat due to GCP Kubernetes, but considering today’s changes, it probably no longer makes sense.

So you decide to eat egress costs in perpetuity, which will scale as you go, but a one time increase of $70 per month is enough to make you go back? What are you even trying to optimize for?
