Amazon Aurora VS Google Cloud Spanner

As far as the big players are concerned, Google offers AlloyDB (https://cloud.google.com/alloydb) while Amazon offers Aurora (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Aurora is a managed database service from Amazon compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL. It allows for the use of existing MySQL code, tools, and applications and can offer increased performance for certain workloads compared to MySQL and PostgreSQL. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

See my other comment on this thread. More typically you'd use RDS for external DB. Aurora is a megascale version. Source: 11 months ago

If you get to a point where RDS cannot handle your work load you can migrate to Amazon Aurora: Https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/. Source: about 1 year ago

Just like how DB replication and load-balancers exists for ~20 years, SC is making far worse version of them under different name. So this "budget" thingy is just another distraction for cult to discuss, so the followers can claim "they know game development". Source: about 1 year ago

Multiregion is possible in Google Cloud using Cloud Spanner, which allows you to replicate the database not only in multiple zones but also in multiple regions as defined in the instance configuration. The replicas allow you to read data with low latency from multiple locations that are close to or within the region in the configuration. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

Basically everything I touch is in-house, but a majority of it is available publicly. For instance: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/. Source: over 1 year ago

An application that needs to handle a lot of data can use a distributed database like Cloud Spanner. Unlimited scale and you don't have to split your database into multiple tables. Source: over 1 year ago

Look at the architecture and performance of Google's Cloud Spanner, a CP system with 99.999% availability... https://cloud.google.com/spanner. Source: over 1 year ago

In my opinion, Google has built some fantastic database services like Bigtable and Spanner, which literally changed the industry for good, and I am eager to see how they will build upon this new service. With AlloyDB's disaggregated architecture, the dystopian world where I only pay for SQL databases per query and the stored data on GCP seems closer than ever. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
