[google-cloud-sql-discuss] CloudSQL pricing vs alternatives

Hey team,

I'm curious how the group finds the pricing of CloudSQL vs the competition and how they compare. We're soon facing the expiration of our credit and beginning to compare with possible alternatives and I've noticed that CloudSQL seems to run more than 4x the price of an AWS equivalent on RDS. 

Google
RAM  Cost/d
16G    $35.13

RDS
RAM   Cost/d
15G    $6.96

Obviously it's hard to measure a feature parity as details are somewhat apples to oranges but the delta seems huge regardless - even the db.r3.2xlarge from RDS comes in $8/d less and that comes with 61GB RAM and 8 cores

Am I wrong to compare that way? Is there a huge value I'm missing?

I'd really appreciate some perspective or experience here. Thanks!!
