Spanner in 2024: A year of innovation
- Google's Spanner, which powers Gmail, YouTube, and Google Photos, evolved in 2024 into a multi-model database with interoperable capabilities, cost-effective pricing with multiple editions, and a powerful Cassandra proxy adapter.
- Spanner's multi-model intelligently consolidates databases and eliminates data movement for a true ZeroETL experience, while its price-performance lets you scale with no cliffs.
- The Cassandra to Spanner Proxy Adapter makes it easier than ever to migrate workloads to Spanner with minimal changes, and vector support allows for similarity searches on vector embeddings.
- New integrations between Spanner and BigQuery improve decision-making, and dual-region configurations and geo-partitioning improve availability and governance controls. Incremental and scheduled backups also make data backup easier and cheaper.
- Google Cloud also improved Spanner's developer experience by allowing protobuf values to be managed in Spanner, adding support for end-to-end tracing, and introducing database center support.
- Google intends to continue adding exciting capabilities to Spanner in 2025.
- You can try Spanner for free for 90-days or for as little as $65 USD/month for a production-ready instance.
