# Connect to Cloud SQL for MySQL from App Engine standard environment

<br />

Learn how to deploy a sample app on [App Engine standard environment](https://docs.cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard)
connected to a MySQL instance by using the Google Cloud console and a client
application.

Assuming that you complete all the steps in a timely manner, the resources
created in this quickstart typically cost less than one dollar (USD).

## Before you begin

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The name you use for your project must be between 4 and 30 characters. When you type the name, the form suggests a project ID, which you can edit. The project ID must be between 6 and 30 characters, with a lowercase letter as the first character. You can use a dash, lowercase letter, or digit for the remaining characters, but the last character cannot be a dash.

### Java

#### Create and download SSL server and client certificates


For Java users, the connector already provides a secure connection
so that creating and downloading SSL server and client certificates is unnecessary.

## Clean up


To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for
the resources used on this page, follow these steps.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Cloud SQL Instances** page.

   [Go to Cloud SQL Instances](https://console.cloud.google.com/sql)
2. Select the `quickstart-instance` instance to open the **Instance details** page.
3. In the icon bar at the top of the page, click **Delete**.
4. In the **Delete instance** dialog box, type `quickstart-instance`, and then click **Delete** to delete the instance. Disabling your app stops it from running instances and serving requests. If your app is processing a request, your app completes the request before being disabled.

To disable an App Engine app and retain its data, do the
following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Settings** page:

   [Go to Settings](https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/settings)
2. In the **Application settings** tab, click **Disable application**.

3. In the **App ID** field, enter the ID of the app you want to disable, and
   then click **Disable**.

### Optional cleanup steps

If you're not using the **Cloud SQL client** role that you assigned to the
Compute Engine service account, you can remove it.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Service accounts** page.

   [Go to IAM](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam)
2. Click the edit icon (which looks like a pencil) for the IAM account named **Compute Engine default service account**.
3. Delete the **Cloud SQL client** role.
4. Click **Save**.

If you're not using the APIs that were enabled as part of this quickstart, you
can disable them.

- APIs that were enabled within this quickstart:
  - Compute Engine API
  - Cloud SQL Admin API
  - Cloud Run API
  - Container Registry API
  - Cloud Build API

1.

   In the Google Cloud console, go to the **APIs** page.

   [Go to APIs](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis)

   <br />

2. Select any API that you would like to disable and then click the **Disable API** button.
