Key features
Fully managed database service
AlloyDB is a fully managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service with industry-leading performance, availability, and scale. It automates administrative tasks such as backups, replication, patching, and capacity management and uses adaptive algorithms and machine learning for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage and memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration, so you can focus on building your applications.
Fast transactional processing
AlloyDB is more than 4X faster than standard PostgreSQL for transactional workloads. It's suitable for the most demanding enterprise workloads, including those that require high transaction throughput, large data sizes, or multiple read replicas. Read connections scale horizontally, backed by low lag, scale-out read replica pools.
High availability
AlloyDB offers a 99.99% uptime SLA, inclusive of maintenance. It automatically detects and recovers from most database failures within 60 seconds, independent of database size and load. The architecture supports non-disruptive instance resizing and database maintenance.
Real-time business insights
AlloyDB is up to 100X faster than standard PostgreSQL for analytical queries, with zero impact on operational performance when running business intelligence, reporting, and hybrid transactional and analytical workloads (HTAP). Built-in integration with Vertex AI, Google's artificial intelligence platform, allows you to call machine learning models directly within a query or transaction, giving you low-latency, high-throughput augmented insights without having to write any application code.
Customer-friendly pricing
Pricing is transparent and predictable, with no expensive, restrictive licensing and no opaque I/O charges. Storage is automatically managed, and you're only charged for what you use, with no additional storage costs for read replicas. A free ultra-fast cache, automatically provisioned in addition to instance memory, allows you to maximize the price-performance ratio. Database Migration Service offers easy-to-use, reliable migrations at no additional charge.
"Institutional investors require 100% accuracy for complete transparency and auditability, but blockchains are data-intensive, with our system holding over 2 billion records. We migrated our database from Amazon Aurora to AlloyDB on Google Cloud and it's delivering beyond our highest expectations, with 3x faster performance and 60% lower cost for a similar instance size."
