Cloud SQL + Spring Boot Developer Guide

## Cloud SQL + Spring Boot Developer Guide

What is Cloud SQL?

Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database service on Google Cloud. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL,

and SQL Server. Cloud SQL automates backups, replication, patches, and maintenance, making it ideal for

cloud-native apps.

Why Use Cloud SQL with Spring Boot?

- Fully managed database with built-in high availability

- Scales vertically and supports read replicas

- Easy integration with Spring Data JPA and JDBC

- Works seamlessly with Cloud Run, GKE, App Engine

- Automatic failover with high availability configuration

Other Managed Relational Databases on Google Cloud

#### AlloyDB

- Googles fully managed PostgreSQL-compatible database

- Offers superior performance and availability over standard PostgreSQL

- Ideal for analytics, hybrid transactional/analytical workloads (HTAP)

- Supports vector search and advanced memory caching

#### Cloud Spanner

- Globally distributed, horizontally scalable relational DB

- Ideal for massive, mission-critical applications needing strong consistency

- Offers SQL support with unlimited scale

#### Comparison Table

| Feature | Cloud SQL | AlloyDB | Cloud Spanner |

|--------|-----------|---------|----------------|
Cloud SQL + Spring Boot Developer Guide

| Compatibility | MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server | PostgreSQL | Custom SQL dialect |

| Scale | Vertical (manual) | Vertical + memory-optimized | Horizontal, global |

| Performance | Moderate | High (4x vs. standard PG) | High throughput |

| HA Options | Regional | Zonal/regional | Multi-region |

| Use Case | Web apps, APIs, CMS | Analytics + transactional apps | Global fintech, ecommerce |

Creating a Cloud SQL Instance

```bash

gcloud services enable sqladmin.googleapis.com

gcloud sql instances create spring-db --database-version=POSTGRES_14 --tier=db-f1-micro

--region=us-central1

gcloud sql databases create springdb --instance=spring-db

gcloud sql users set-password postgres --instance=spring-db --password=your-password

```

Access Types

- Public IP: Simple for quick access, allowlisted IPs

- Private IP: Secure, used with VPC networks for internal communication

- Cloud SQL Auth Proxy: Best for local dev & production, handles IAM + encryption

Connecting from Spring Boot

```properties

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/springdb

spring.datasource.username=postgres

spring.datasource.password=your-password

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
Cloud SQL + Spring Boot Developer Guide

```

```bash

./cloud-sql-proxy spring-db --port 5432

```

```properties

spring.datasource.hikari.maximum-pool-size=10

spring.datasource.hikari.idle-timeout=600000

spring.datasource.hikari.connection-timeout=30000

```

Authentication & IAM

- Assign Cloud SQL Client role to GCP service accounts

- Use IAM conditions for time-based and IP-based access control

- Leverage Secret Manager to store credentials securely

- Rotate DB passwords regularly with automation scripts

Monitoring, Backups & Logs

- Enable automated backups with retention settings

- Enable binary logging for PITR (Point-in-Time Recovery)

- Use Query Insights to visualize slow queries & CPU usage

- Export logs to Cloud Logging and integrate with Cloud Monitoring dashboards

High Availability (HA)

- Enable high availability (regional instance) to replicate across zones

- Failover happens automatically in case of zone failure

- Best practice for mission-critical applications


Cloud SQL + Spring Boot Developer Guide

Performance Tuning

- Use SSD for low-latency access

- Adjust flags (e.g. work_mem, shared_buffers in PostgreSQL)

- Optimize schema with indexes and constraints

- Monitor slow query logs and use EXPLAIN ANALYZE

- Avoid using persistent connections without pooling

Security Best Practices

- Enforce SSL connections using client certs

- Restrict inbound IPs for public access

- Prefer Private IP with IAM-based access

- Use VPC Service Controls for data exfiltration prevention

- Enable Deletion Protection for prod instances

Pricing & Tier Options

| Tier | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Use Case |

|------|------|-----|---------|----------|

| db-f1-micro | Shared | 0.6 GB | HDD/SSD | Dev/Test |

| db-g1-small | Shared | 1.7 GB | HDD/SSD | Small workloads |

| db-custom-* | Custom | Up to 416 GB | SSD | Production apps |

| High Availability | Multi-zone | Same | SSD | Mission-critical apps |

Best Practices

- Use read replicas for read-heavy workloads

- Use connection pooling (e.g. HikariCP, PgBouncer)

- Enable deletion protection for production DBs

- Regularly test failover if HA is enabled

- Monitor query latency and IOPS in dashboards

- Limit max connections to prevent overload
