MySQL on GAE becomes a reality ?

[Tim]

In case anyone missed it, a full SQL database is in "limited preview"

Quote:  fully-managed service that maintains, manages, and administers your databases, [...] offering the capabilities of a MySQL database [...] allows for high data portability [...] quickly leverage your existing database (using JDBC and/or DB-API) in your App Engine application

It's a bit late here in Europe for me to start digging into it, and pricing is yet to be announced, but for some of us who're only now looking at M/S -> H/R migration (typically under Python 2.7 migration pressure) and are having worries about how the enforced entity groups, consistency and read/write rates may affect us, this might be worth waiting for (but I expect it'll be priced at a premium)

Very interesting.

I wonder how many writes/second it can do.

Who knows if it'll change later, but for now the docs state...

 

Resource	Limits/Quotas
Queries Per Second (QPS)	5 QPS
Maximum Request Size	16 MB
Maximum Response Size	16 MB

Note the opening sentence, tho

> External requests to Google Cloud SQL instances are subject to the following access limits and quotas. Note that these limits only apply to Google Cloud SQL use and do not apply to App Engine use.

I had the same thoughts about performance (and saw the notes about the quota/limit and the "do not apply to AppEngine" qualifier too).

For those interested, there's a new group set up here

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-cloud-sql-discuss

It's pretty sparse at the moment, as you might expect... :)

I'm mostly lurking on there for now to see what other news appears as people ask questions and early beta testers try things out - there's also an -annouce group where I expect more formal news will be posted.

Is it free to use in preview mode?

The initial announcement says it "is available free of charge for now, and we will publish pricing at least 30 days before charging for it" (I expect this might mean something like 'no premium over and above the normal quota/billable resources it consumes' but this is based on nothing more than gut feel). Of course, this is an "invitation only" preview at this stage (free as in "no cost", not free as in "freely available" at least for now).

I hope the exit-from-preview, should it reach that stage, is communicated more clearly than this year's GAE process, but at this stage I take the announcement more as a reinforcement of the investment in GAE facilities than any sort of hard-and-fast commitment to a particular direction.
