As @siamsot mentioned, there is an article in the official GCP documentation on how to connect to a Cloud SQL instance.

Basically, you have the following options to connect to a Cloud SQL instance :

• By using the proxy (Second Generation instances only)
• By configuring access for one or more public IP addresses
• By using the JDBC Socket Factory (for the Java programming language, Second Generation instances only)
• By using the Cloud SQL Proxy library (for the Go programming language, Second Generation instances only)
