Google Cloud SQL is an excellent choice for hosting small services, like microservices. Google Cloud's infrastructure is globally distributed, ensuring that your service is accessible from anywhere as long as you have the correct IP address. This global accessibility is similar to that of cloud service providers like AWS and Microsoft Azure. It's adopted and highly reliable.

We use Google Cloud SQL for various use cases within our organization. It serves as a repository for organizational data, facilitating the management of multiple requests and ensuring the persistence of critical data. This operational data is then made available to users, allowing them to access specific orders and metrics, such as the number of orders processed yesterday and the proportion of those processed through Cloud services. Additionally, we leverage Google Cloud SQL to generate reports based on this operational data.
