Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

pocketPG supports Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. Auto-detected from Google Cloud hostnames.

What works​

  • All core monitoring tabs
  • ALTER SYSTEM SET for tuning recommendations
  • VACUUM / ANALYZE / REINDEX maintenance actions
  • pg_stat_statements (enable via database flags)

Cloud metrics​

Cloud metrics integration (from Cloud Monitoring API) is planned but not yet implemented.

Considerations​

  • Managed-provider checkpoint caveat — Cloud SQL internal operations can trigger requested checkpoints. The Health tab notes this.
  • Database flags — some PostgreSQL parameters are managed via Cloud SQL database flags rather than ALTER SYSTEM SET. Changes may require an instance restart.
