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

Getting started with Vector Embeddings in Cloud SQL for MySQL Β |Β Google Codelabs
In this codelab youβll 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 theβ¦
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.
