Galera Cluster VS Google Cloud Spanner

You can do basic master/replica with mysql or mariadb too. Or even multimaster replication with Galera - not the easiest thing to properly configure however. Source: over 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
