"Great product, would be awesome to not need to manage instances"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Spanner?

I love that Cloud Spanner gives usrers a globally consistent relational DB. Spanner is awesome when used correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Spanner?

The steep cost of a 3 node cluster makes it a hard sell at many clients, especially when those clients only have a small (< 10 GB) but critical data set. I would love to see pricing model like Datastore's for Spanner.

Also, several people have deleted our development instances because of the position of the 'Delete' button in the cloud console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
