Likelihood to Recommend	Google Google Cloud Spanner is suited for limitless horizontal scaling while maintaining strong consistency which needs to support ACID. NoSQL databases work in scaling but no ACID support. RDBMS support ACID, but horizontal scaling is not as great. The API it provides result in some limitations to related areas of the code, such as connection pools or database linking framework. So high # of connection pools can vary. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Redis Labs Redis Cloud is very well suited for scenarios where fast data access is required or somewhat unstructured data needs to be stored. For us, it has worked very well for user session storage. However, if you have large amounts of structured data that is not frequently accessed, Redis is not the solution and a traditional relational database is likely more appropriate.

Pros	Google Super high availability Scales automatically High standard SLA Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Redis Labs Ease of setup and deployment via Heroku Reliability and splicity Fair pricing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Google Support for Views Support for more databases (schemas). More index types that can be supported (Functional) Backups (ie table/data backup) if data is deleted or truncate by accident. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Redis Labs The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

Alternatives Considered	Google At that point, we were looking at something [that] can hold our relational database, [...] provide stable connection, and maintain high ACID transition. BigTable is for nonrelational database so it was out of our [sight] very quickly. BigQuery is a data warehouse that can hold huge amount of data but not ideal for transition. AWS RDS is [...] similar to Spanner but because most of our services are already on GCP, so we went with Spanner. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Redis Labs I've used Heroku Redis and RedisToGo. Redis Cloud has the best free/developer plan, and we have never had an issue.

Return on Investment	Google Backups specifically if transactional data is deleted. Restoring made us lose time. Sharding on Horizontal level was quick and easy. Deployment and increasing nodes is easy Large dataset handling. ACID compliance Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Redis Labs Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.
