To Span the data, then Spanner is the way
Google Spanner is being used as a relational database in comparison to Amazon RDS. The issues we're having with Amazon RDS is scalability horizontally. We need a db for transactional use which is leaning towards the OLTP end. Amazon RDS helps us to a certain extent. Google Cloud Spanner was tested out for scalability, since we hit limits with Amazon RDS. The usage is used by the company product used internally and with consumers.
- Scalability
- Sharding
- Interleaved Tables
- Cross Table Transactional Support
- 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.

- 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
Spanner scales quickly compared to Amazon RDS. Azure Database is about the same as well. MongoDB can scale to horizontal scalability, however, because Mongo doesn't support full ACID, Spanner comes into that aspect. GCP Cloud SQL not as scalable as Spanner. Spanner has more functionality than MongoDB and Amazon RDS & Azure Databases.
As our business grows rapidly, we need a database that can enable us to have [the] capacity in scaling and availability and it also needs to be [a] relational database. At that time we are already a Google Cloud Platform customer and after some researches, we think Google Cloud Spanner can give us both.
- Super high availability
- Scales automatically
- High standard SLA
- Lack MySQL support.
- Cannot edit the table on the fly.
- Kind of high learn curve to migrate.

- It increased our database availability.
- It improved our database performance.
- We do not have to maintain a database cluster anymore.
- BigTable, Google BigQuery and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
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.
