User Testimonials
	Google Cloud Spanner
Likelihood to Recommend	If you have a large relational database and it is growing fast on daily basis, and if you have a strong need in ACID across all your clusters, and most importantly, if you need to maintain high availability in a large region, Google Cloud Spanner can be a very good choice.

Pros	Super high availability Scales automatically High standard SLA Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	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
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review
Return on Investment	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
