Maximizing Cloud SQL database availability

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Cloud SQL claims a 99.99% SLA and now achieves subsecond downtime (less than one second, down from under 10 seconds) by building a shadow replica that catches up and enables a quick cutover, plus Enterprise Plus planned maintenance. Vector workloads can run in Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL using pgvector. New advanced disaster recovery creates a cross-region replica that can be promoted quickly and supports an automated switchover back with zero data loss.
