I recommend Google Cloud SQL for any industry with specific relational database requirements. I suggest it for both small and large businesses. I am not a partner or reseller of Google and MongoDB; I provide consulting to customers who use Google Cloud or MongoDB in specific instances.

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.

We use it for managing workflows, workflow data, and state management. We'll use it for tenant metadata information and keeping it. 

We have some BI use cases as well. We are in the automation industry, so, in general, whatever is required for automation, we keep all that information.
