Have you heard about GIN? Not the beverage but the index type. It works great for JSONB but you need to remember what JSON operators are supported and what options for GIN index are available. I've written a short blog bit.ly/4kSdzOA

Automating AlloyDB starts and stops Introduction

Recently we've announced that AlloyDB instances can be started and stopped. I wrote a blog with an example of start/stop automation through Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub and Cloud Run Functions. Have a look and try it out. bit.ly/45rdCNg

Now you can start and stop AlloyDB instances from UI or command line to reduce cost for the dev environments when you don't need them and starting it back with the same network endpoints and parameters. Read about it in the docs goo.gle/4kpkjDU #GoogleCloud #AlloyDB

State-of-the-art text embedding in AlloyDB with the latest Gemini model Montreal style bagels are getting better recognition by the newest sate-of-the-art Google Gemini embedding model…

Have you already tried the latest Google Gemini embedding model? It is available in AlloyDB out of the box in the embedding function. Read in the blog how it evaluates New York style vs Montreal bagels.

My 3d Boston marathon is done. Great race and the most engaged spectators ever. If you plan to have headphones and listen to the music during the run - you will probably not hear a thing. Congrats to all runners and thanks tons to people of Boston for the hospitality! #BostonMarathon #Running

Getting started with Vector Embeddings in Cloud SQL for MySQL Β |Β  Google Codelabs In this codelab you’ll learn how to use Cloud SQL Vertex AI integration for semantic search using vectors and how to create an index on the vector data

Do you know that now Cloud SQL for MySQL has a direct integration (in preview) with Vertex AI and allows you to integrate embeddings, Gen AI or custom models calls directly into your database routines using SQL. Try our new codelab bit.ly/codelab-csql... #googledevs #MySQL

Have you heard that you can now create an #AlloyDB instance using the Google Axion CPU (C4A type) and with a minimal configuration of only 1 CPU and 8Gb memory. That's probably the ideal developments, demos and functional testing. Give it a try. #Postgres

AlloyDB Omni on Mac with Podman Do you like to sink deep in an armchair with a laptop on your lap and do some development or run some tests for PostgreSQL? I do it all the…

Are you using a database for local development? Sometimes it is much more convenient to have a database running locally on your laptop. I wrote a short blog about using AlloyDB Omni as such a local PostgreSQL development environment on a Macbook.

Have you already heard that you can get coding help from Gemini Code Assist for free? By the way it can not only help with the code but also answer important questions like β€œWhat is better - Montreal or New York style bagels?”
