Google Cloud Overview

What is Google Cloud SQL?

Google Cloud SQL is a managed relational database service for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server databases in Google Cloud.

DBConvert and DBSync help move data from self-managed database servers to Cloud SQL, synchronize existing systems with Cloud SQL, and handle cross-engine migration projects.

DBConvert & DBSync Solutions

Use DBConvert for database migration and DBSync for repeatable synchronization between self-managed servers, Google Cloud SQL, and other cloud databases.

Migration Strategies

Cloud SQL Migration Strategies

Choose a same-engine move or use migration as a chance to re-platform to another database engine.

Same Database Type Migration

Keep the same database type as the on-premises source
Reduce maintenance costs of self-managed servers
Use automatic storage capacity management
Synchronize on-premises instances with Cloud SQL

Existing Database	GCP Service
MySQL	Cloud SQL for MySQL
PostgreSQL	Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
SQL Server	Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Cross-Platform Migration

Re-platforming to another database type can reduce licensing costs, move workloads toward open-source engines, or support a cloud modernization plan.

Oracle to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
SQL Server to MySQL or PostgreSQL
AWS RDS to Google Cloud SQL
Multi-cloud and hybrid database sync

Example: migrate Oracle database to Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.

Tooling Comparison

GCP Migration Tool vs. DBConvert Solutions

Google Cloud Migration Tool

Google Cloud Platform provides a native tool for moving MySQL databases to Cloud SQL. It can be useful for a narrow same-engine path.

Limited to MySQL database sources in this scenario
No heterogeneous migration workflow

DBConvert Advantage

DBConvert supports database migration and synchronization across several source and target engines.

Multiple database source engines
Cross-platform database migrations
Bidirectional synchronization
Multi-cloud and hybrid support

DBConvert Features

Why Use DBConvert for Cloud SQL?

DBConvert solutions work with Google Cloud SQL, AWS RDS/Aurora, Azure SQL Database, and hybrid environments.

Bidirectional Sync

Synchronize data between sources and destinations for staged migration and hybrid systems.

Trigger-Based Sync

Use trigger-based synchronization for near-real-time consistency in supported workflows.

Bulk Operations

Run optimized data transfer jobs for larger migration projects and repeatable loads.

Configuration Tip

To connect to a Google Cloud SQL instance, use the same settings as a traditional database connection and set the Cloud SQL instance IP address as the hostname.
