"Simple managed SQL databases with great interoperability across other Google Cloud offerings."
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

With support for MySQL, MSSQL, and Postgres, Google Cloud SQL grants a familiar interface to easily stand up managed database instances that have smooth interoperability with other Google Cloud offerings, such as GKE and Cloud Run.

The ability to easily implement maintenence and upgrade timeframes, restrict access at both the database level and with many IAM roles/scopes, and the powerful insights into query performance with Query Insights are the top drivers for our utilization of Google Cloud SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

While establishing private service connection/VPC peering may be a hurdle to newcomers, once you are familiar with the model it is incredibly straightforward to manage.

The procedure to deploy a highly available instance is a bit clunky still. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
