am i wrong to think that GCP Cloud SQL absolutely should not cost $254/month for the base instance type? this seems wildly expensive

GCP and AWS have WILD prices, first for the vps themselves, then doubly such for every "hosted service" that they provision on it. We have like half a dozen small workloads for different clients that each use a $80 absolute-bare-minimum instance on GCP, but I started to run sql inside k8s for cost savings sometimes.

Even for apps with 10-15 DAU, each client pays $80 for gcloud sql, $120 for GKE k8s *minimum*. Clients like GKE for the big name. Meanwhile for "unsafe" workloads, I can just rent a $30 LKE linode cluster that breezes thru low volume workloads, backup bitnami psql to s3, and renovate sends PRs to upgrade versions.
