Pros and Cons - Cloud SQL language specific connectors vs Cloud SQL Auth Proxy Binary form

[dheerajpanyam]

I would like to understand the pros and cons of choosing Cloud SQL language specific connectors (using client specific libraries) over the  binary  form .  In my opinion client specific libraries provide  a neat way of handling connections using code and more flexible compared to the binary which needs to deployed as a separate process (for example sidecar in case of GKE deployments) so there is operational overhead in choosing the latter.
