Hi Ketih, Could you clarify what exactly you mean? If you're talking Cloud SQL, then if your instance is 100% up, you can refer to this page <https://cloud.google.com/sql/pricing> for the pricing. (also worth noting you're using the price for per use billing, not the packages, which come cheaper if your instance is up 24/7.
You do mention datastore as well. Which storage solution will you be using? Because datastore doesn't require instances to run (besides the instances running your application itself), it only charges for calls and storage. You can refer to this pricing page for it. Seems to me like datastore would be faster and more responsive for your application.
