Re: [google-cloud-sql-discuss] Cloud SQL or VM Instance to host MySQL Database

Cloud SQL provides many features that MySQL-on-GCE does not:

• Cloud SQL instances can be configured only to run when they are needed, this allows you to save a lot of money if your site is only used during 1 hour in each day.
• Cloud SQL is automatically managed for you - for example we apply upgrades, can do 7 days of daily backups, saving you from the hassle of managing a machine.
• Cloud SQL has storage replicated across multiple locations, so that if a zone fails your instance will automatically start again in a different location. This makes Cloud SQL much more resilient than a GCE instance.
• More features are listed on our website.

I have a website and i am confused where to host its database.

Google Cloud SQL D1 tier has 0.5 GB RAM and its cost is $1.46 per day.

GCE n1-standard-2 has 7.5 GB RAM and its cost is 1.68 per day.

I can set up mysql server on VM Instance and can give remote access to external servers. Also, Cloud SQL has limitation on maximum connections.

So, why should i host it on Cloud SQL?
