AlloyDB combines the familiar features of PostgreSQL, such as SQL syntax and stored procedures, with a new architecture aimed at improving performance. The service leverages Google's infrastructure and management tools while retaining key observability features. According to Everest's Ranjan, AlloyDB provides essential PostgreSQL capabilities alongside advanced tools, including a user-friendly Google Cloud UI, deeper analytics, and machine learning-based tuning suggestions to optimize database performance.
You still get the fundamental Postgres observability (like pg_stat_statements) plus the advanced Google Cloud UI, deeper analytics, and potential machine learning-based tuning suggestions, Everest's Ranjan said.
Essentially, Google's approach has been: Take the Postgres framework, keep it compatible, then accelerate it with a new storage engine and Google's infrastructure and management tools.
