GCP wins hands down when it comes to cloud governance and network design.

I think the two biggest weaknesses are:

- IAM - some resources have awkward relationships with IAM; although the GSuite integration is nice - CloudSQL (vs RDS) - for businesses that need relational data stores, but aren’t at the Cloud Spanner scale, RDS blows CloudSQL away in features

Governance?

What are the necessary features cloudsql doesn’t support?

[etxm]

Project organization, folders, orgs, and it’s integration with IAM / GSuite.

I haven’t dug in on Cloud SQL in about a year, what I recall:

- no support for logical replication in PG

- there was some VPC funkiness

- fewer number of extensions: ~60 extensions in RDS vs ~45 for CloudSQL

- CSQL Only supports pl/pgsql vs perl, v8, tcl, and pgsql
