Google Makes Postgres-Compatible AlloyDB Generally Available

Google is announcing today that https://cloud.google.com/alloydb — its https://www.postgresql.org/-compatible database system that was introduced into public preview back in May — is now generally available (GA). The clustered cloud database platform will join https://cloud.google.com/spanner and https://cloud.google.com/sql as a first-party operational, relational database service on Google Cloud. Along with the GA release, Google Cloud is reiterating recent preview releases of two companion services for AlloyDB and a number of partner developments for the platform as well.

The other preview service, https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/introducing-seamless-database-replication-to-bigquery, introduced a change data capture/replication service to sync data in AlloyDB with Google https://cloud.google.com/bigquery.

Google’s own globally distributed database, Cloud Spanner offers a Postgres-compatible mode and Google Cloud SQL hosts multiple relational systems, including PostgreSQL itself.
