Have you heard that you can now create an #AlloyDB instance using the Google Axion CPU (C4A type) and with a minimal configuration of only 1 CPU and 8Gb memory. That's probably the ideal developments, demos and functional testing. Give it a try . Google for Developers #Postgres

Do you know that now Cloud SQL for MySQL has a direct integration (in preview) with Vertex AI and allows you to integrate embeddings, Gen AI or custom models calls directly into your database routines using SQL. Try our new codelab bit.ly/codelab-csql-a… Google for Developers #MySQL

My 3d Boston Marathon is done. Great race and the most engaged spectators ever! If you plan to have headphones and listen to the music during the run - you will probably not hear a thing. Congrats to all runners and thanks tons to people of Boston for the hospitality!

Hi everyone! Recently we've announced a preview for some new AI operators in AlloyDB. Try it out in our new codelab and let us know what you think. Google for Developers Google Cloud #AlloyDB #Postgres bit.ly/4dydFIX

Another Ottawa marathon is done. 3:24:06 time and it is the best time so far I've done in Ottawa marathon. And Boston's qualifying time again.

Have you already tried the latest Google Gemini embedding model? It is available in AlloyDB out of the box in the embedding function. Read in the blog how it evaluates New York style vs Montreal bagels. Google for Developers #AlloyDB #AI #Postgres bit.ly/3ZujIbZ

Now you can start and stop AlloyDB instances from UI or command line to reduce cost for the dev environments when you don't need them and starting it back with the same network endpoints and parameters. Read about it in the docs goo.gle/4kpkjDU Google for Developers #AlloyDB

Secure your data in #AlloyDB with precision! My latest blog post dives into how to implement fine-grained IAM permissions for robust security. Check it out: medium.com/@bjoernrost/fi… #GoogleCloud #IAM

Recently we've announced that AlloyDB instances can be started and stopped. I wrote a blog with an example of start/stop automation through Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub and Cloud Run Functions. Have a look and try it out. Google for Developers Google Cloud #AlloyDB bit.ly/45rdCNg

Introducing Gemini CLI, a light and powerful open-source AI agent that brings Gemini directly into your terminal. >_ Write code, debug, and automate tasks with Gemini 2.5 Pro with industry-leading high usage limits at no cost.

It is actually amazing - install, try it and show what you have created. I was able to create, start and modify my app with database integration with only few short prompts to the interface. Google for Developers

A demo app in 15 min - easy.

If you hit a hiccup while using gemini-cli try to update to the latest version - team is working tirelessly addressing requests and reports. It is easy - "npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest". If you haven't tried it - what are you waiting for ? goo.gle/gemini-cli

Gemini CLI team will be doing AMA session on Reddit on Monday June 30th reddit.com/r/Bard/comment…

Have you ever wondered about indexes for your JSON data type in PostgreSQL? I've written a blog about B-tree indexes for your JSON data types in PostgreSQL. bit.ly/3IOBJMi #PostgreSQL Google for Developers

Have you heard about GIN? Not the beverage but the index type. It works great for JSONB but you need to remember what JSON operators are supported and what options for GIN index are available. I've written a short blog bit.ly/4kSdzOA Google for Developers #PostgreSQL

Have you already played with Gemini CLI? Do you know that the Gemini CLI is available in Google Cloud Shell by default. Just type "gemini" and get the interactive mode or use –yolo with -p parameters to run it in non-interactive mode. Check it out Google for Developers gemini-cli

Haven't played with NL2SQL in AlloyDB yet? Yes, AlloyDB gets NL2SQL using SQL interface to configure and tune it to your data. The feature is in preview and any feedback is highly appreciated. Here is a codelab to start testing it - bit.ly/4mt7NEG Google for Developers #AlloyDB
