I'd like to see an in-depth comparison with Google Cloud Spanner.



Is there a real life case study of people/startup using Cloud Spanner? I am wondering what are the use cases of Spanner that cannot be fulfilled by other Google Cloud Platform products.


relational model globally distributed ACID transactions 99.999 availability

to name a few


Please post link where they talk about transactions - I can't find it in the docs anywhere. Availability SLA is clearly not 5 9's - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/cosmos-d...


random3 is replying to someone asking about Google's Spanner, which does have those transactions.


They're very different things. It's like wanting an in-depth comparison between SQL Server and Redis.


Exactly, although cloud is not my best suite, I am so exited. This is serious fight.
