AlloyDB Basics
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is a managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service designed for enterprise-grade performance and availability. It utilizes a disaggregated compute and storage architecture to scale resources independently. It also provides AlloyDB AI, a collection of features that includes AI-powered search (vector, hybrid search, and AI functions), natural language capabilities, conversational analytics, and inference features like forecasting and model endpoint management to help developers build AI apps faster.
Quick Start
-
Enable the AlloyDB API:
gcloud services enable alloydb.googleapis.com --quiet -
Create a Cluster:
gcloud alloydb clusters create my-cluster --region=us-central1 \ --password=my-password --network=my-vpc \ --quietNote: For production, we recommend using IAM database authentication instead of passwords. If passwords must be used, use secure secret management (e.g., Secret Manager) instead of passing passwords in cleartext.
-
Create a Primary Instance:
gcloud alloydb instances create my-primary --cluster=my-cluster \ --region=us-central1 --instance-type=PRIMARY --cpu-count=2 \ --quiet
