Why Google Cloud is the Best Place for Your PostgreSQL Workload
summary
Google Cloud offers three concrete PostgreSQL paths: Cloud SQL as a mature managed Postgres used by 95% of top 100 customers, AlloyDB (storage disaggregated, a new columnar engine and full PG compatibility) with AlloyDB AI for model endpoint management and vector search, and Postgres APIs on Spanner for global scale. Demoed filtered vector search shows an explain analyze drop from 101 ms to 5.88 ms — ~17x faster — using the scan-on-all index that inlines filters with vector retrieval.
