Google Cloud SQL sharding

Question

I am now trying to use Google Cloud SQL as a solution for my project. However, I found no way to scale writing there. It uses innoDB, so I can't use features of NDB cluster. So I wanted to make some sharding, however I am unable to find any information about this. Are there any ways to scale writes to Google Cloud SQL?

Answer 1

A single INSERT statement with 100 row will run 10 times as fast as 100 single-row INSERTs .

LOAD DATA is probably the fastest way to do inserts.

In some situations it can be faster to use a staging table - put the rows to insert in it, then copy to the 'real' table(s).

Please give more details about the data flow, the table schema, and scale (eg, rows/second).
