    Not sure how well the second gen supports appengine. With 1st gen you could ask the database to follow an appengine app so they are both in the same cell. I also don't see how to allow connection from appengine apps I only can select IP addresses. Are these unnecessary now?

    Also curious about the on demand option. I had it in 1st gen but its gone now. I can only select Always on or Never. I had a large database that I only used for a few hours per month. I'd love to migrate to second gen but if its always in it might make it much more expensive.

    At last I tried to perform an export from 1st gen into 2nd gen and I'm getting server errors will try again later.

    Looks like its neck to neck with AWS RDS MySQL. Has anyone done any benchmarks on performance?

    Is it just me or does Google Cloud SQL seem extremely expensive compared to the alternatives (RDS, etc)?
