AlloyDB is a fully managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service
built for your most demanding enterprise workloads, including high transaction
rates, large data sizes, and real-time analytics. For more information, see
AlloyDB overview.
This document describes the parameters you can configure when using
App Design Center to create an AlloyDB cluster and
instances. The configuration parameters are based on the
terraform-google-alloy-db
module.
Before you begin
Create a private services access configuration in a
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network that resides in the same
Google Cloud project where you'll create your AlloyDB instances.
