With google cloud sql and amazon aurora being mysql compatible do any of you get the temptation of starting your projects with mysql instead postgresql?
Google Cloud SQL runs outside of your network (on a public IP). Thus it doesn't respect your firewall rules and can't use internal network addresses. I run my own replicated compute engine mysql nodes for this reason. Amazon RDS and Aurora were superior DBAAS products when I was using AWS. Kubernetes on Google Container Engine is ultimately what convinced me to switch though.
