I'm using Google Cloud Services for my business. Our platform is based on PHP and mySQL, and I use App Engine and Cloud SQL for this. I'm using default App Engine scaling settings with F1 instance and a D2 Cloud SQL instance (because of speed issues). Once I switched from a shared hosting plan to Google, my website has drastically slowed down in performance. Saving settings takes up to 13 seconds sometimes - and now I'm paying $350 a month instead of $20.

Am I doing something wrong? How can I either reduce costs dramatically or increase performance so the huge price hike is worth it?

  • I don't want to pay $150 for email support - Google's "community forums" just link to Stack Overflow, which is why I asked the question here – John Reinstra Nov 11 '14 at 02:57
  • Well, you're paying $350, so $150 might be a bargain if they fix your issue. – ceejayoz Nov 11 '14 at 02:57
  • True - I'll wait and see if anyone here has suggestions first though – John Reinstra Nov 11 '14 at 02:59
  • And it looks like I'd need to get the "Gold" plan ($400) in order to ask a question about something other than a bug / fix ticket - my problem is larger than that. – John Reinstra Nov 11 '14 at 03:02

    Set your `Activation Policy` on the `Cloud SQL` instance settings to be `Always On`, this way, the `MySQL` service will not be shut down when not in use. Also, make sure that you are collocating your `Cloud SQL` instance with your `App Engine` application, that is under `Location preference` on the `Edit Instance` page. – Juan Enrique Muñoz Zolotoochin Nov 11 '14 at 03:11
  • We couldn't use Cloud SQL in production due to terrible performance. https://stackoverflow.com/q/54503324/1290457 – sandre89 Apr 02 '19 at 21:32
