#2Great. Does this support persisting to disk RDB[1] or AOF[2]?
Pricing seems reasonable?
1GB of Redis data is $0.049 per GB hour. 730 hours in a month = $0.049 * 1 * 730 = $35.77/mo.
5GB of Redis data is $0.027 per GB hour. 730 hours in a month = $0.027 * 5 * 730 = $98.55/mo.

Those prices are not per hour, but per GB-hour. So multiply your second monthly price by 5. Not cheaper for more data, but definitely cheaper per GB.

Oops. Duh, that makes more sense. Updated.

I don't think this is Redis, this is something that fully supports the Redis protocol.
I wouldn't be that much surprised if underneath use a custom implentation.
Said so, arguably, RDB and AOF are not a concern of the user but of the administrator so I wouldn't expect them...

#6Huge fan of RedisLabs, but I'm all for more managed Redis options.

#7> Compatibility with the Redis protocol means you can migrate your applications with zero code changes.
Does this mean they don't actually use Redis, but have an alternate implementation of the protocol? In such a case, wouldn't it be different it terms of performance when compared to the original one. Also, keeping up with new versions should be a major overhead. If Google is still doing an alternate implementation, I wonder what could be the reason.

It's probably built on top of Google's standard production software and hardware stack, the same thing they use to run most of their standard services like search and Gmail. This tech stack tends to have evolved earlier than and separately from the public equivalent.
It generally scales and performs better than normal tech stacks, but its components are so different and so mutually interdependent that it's bad at directly running normal software. The protocol, however, can be implemented just fine.
To be clear: Even though I worked at Google in the past, I don't now, am not speaking for Google, and know nothing secret about this product. I'm extrapolating from widely known general knowledge about Google's technical infrastructure.

#9> Reach out to us to let us know what kinds of managed database services you’d like us to offer next.
Hey Google friends,
I'm not ready to move over to GCloud but I'm interested in prototyping a few applications. Here's a few things on my wishlist:
* Wrapping the cli tool for common db tasks in the way heroku does (ex: heroku pg:push - push local database to production database, heroku pg:pull - pulls production database to local).
* Simpler integration of Cloud SQL with AppEngine flex. It's not a lot of work (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/usin...) but it would be cool to build a flex environment / provision a sql database / setup connection strings in one swoop.
* While you're at it, better AppEngine flex introductory pricing ($40 / mo for 1 vcpu, 512 mb ram) :)
Not related to managed databases but hopefully helpful. TLDR Heroku but on GCloud.

Amazon Elasticache by comparison:
1.5GB is $0.034 per hour = $24.82/mo.
6GB is $0.182 per hour = $132.82/mo.
They just run Redis on stock EC2 hardware hence the odd GB numbers.
But one advantage of AWS is that with Reserved Instance pricing you could get those numbers down by 2/3.
