GCP Product Managers, here’s an idea that will rain you with cash: managed vitess to replace the severely underpowered cloudsql offering.

Or even better, something like PlanetScale [1]. It was founded by the maintainers of Vitess.

Unfortunately their infrastructure is only in the US, so latency is a deal breaker from Europe

They'll also help you host Vitess, not sure if it's fully managed or not, but that'd get it in your cluster / region.

This is cool. Exactly the product I wanted for hosting my side projects without paying the exorbitant price for a MySQL instance on AWS or GCP.
