A manufacturing company runs its ecommerce site on an on-premises MySQL database. Management wants to migrate the database to Google Cloud quickly, keep existing SQL queries unchanged, and hand off patching, backups, and high availability to Google. Which Google Cloud destination best meets these goals?
Cloud SQL for MySQL is a fully managed relational database service that is wire-compatible with standard MySQL. Because it preserves familiar schemas and SQL syntax, applications can usually connect without code changes. Google handles patching, replication, automated backups, and maintenance, so the company offloads operational tasks while gaining high availability. BigQuery is an analytics data warehouse, not suited to transactional workloads. Cloud Bigtable is a NoSQL wide-column store that does not use SQL, requiring a complete refactor. Cloud Spanner offers horizontal scalability but differs from MySQL in dialect and semantics, so moving to Spanner would demand more extensive application changes.
