    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.

    If you need to execute ml algorithms, learning techniques, or mathematical calculations on large amounts of heterogeneous data, VMware Tanzu Data Services will be ideal. It will be really simple to set up, particularly if you choose AWS as your integrated cloud provider. However, if you're working with lower data amounts, such as gigabytes, it can be superfluous.

    They were very helpful. We needed support for initial implementation.

    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.
