[I am a Cloud SQL-er] Yes, you can use both standard and SSD persistent disks. If you create a larger instance with more vCPUs and a big enough disk, you can achieve greater than 240mb/s, see the docs: https://cloud.google.c

[Cloud SQL person, SSL+connections is my jam] When you say you couldn't get the root certs to work... what do you mean? Cloud SQL automatically generates server certificates, and we offer UI+API for creating additional client certifica

On the bright side, its a bit easier on the device itself, as the package manager needs to copy the APK from the download location when installing, so by storing application resources outside of the APK, installs will be faster and less lik

Perhaps not all countries have equivalent suicide hotlines, and thus they would not get such a notice? Its really interesting how I feel really good about this use of data, but feel much more uncomfortable with (for example) using location
