TLDR
Export data from a specific Cloud SQL instance to a Google Cloud Storage bucket as an SQL dump file
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name]
Export data asynchronously, returning immediately without waiting for the operation to complete
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name] --async
Export data from specific databases within the Cloud SQL instance
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name] --database=[database1,database2,...]
Export specific tables from a specified database within the Cloud SQL instance
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name] --database=[database] --table=[table1,table2,...]
Export data while offloading the operation to a temporary instance to reduce strain on the source instance
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name] --offload
Export data and compress the output with gzip
$ gcloud sql export sql [instance] gs://[bucket_name]/[file_name].gz
