一览

Cloud Spanner is a globally distributed relational database combining ACID transactions, SQL, and unlimited horizontal scaling. Used by Google internally for AdWords, Gmail, Photos. Mastery takes 3-4 months. Senior practitioners earn 25-40% premium. Rare skill, most companies use Spanner as last resort when Postgres can't scale globally.

什么是 GCP Spanner Distributed

Cloud Spanner is a globally distributed relational database. Replicate across regions (US, EU, APAC), write in one region, read from nearest replica. ACID transactions across the globe, Spanner uses GPS clocks and atomic clocks to maintain strong consistency without sacrificing availability. Think: take Postgres (relational, transactions), scale it globally (Bigtable-style distribution), that's Spanner.

❓ 常见问题

When should I use Spanner vs Cloud SQL?

Cloud SQL: single region, scales up (vertical). Spanner: multi-region, scales out (horizontal). Use Cloud SQL if your data fits in one region. Use Spanner if you need global distribution (replicas in US, EU, APAC) with ACID guarantees.

What's the difference between strong and eventual consistency?

Strong: reads always see latest writes (slower, network round-trip). Eventual: writes replicate to replicas gradually (fast locally, may read stale data). Spanner provides strong consistency globally (hard problem solved).

How do I design schemas for global distribution?

Use interleaved tables: parent-child relationships stored together. This minimizes cross-region requests. Example: Users (parent) interleaved with Profiles (child) = same shard, fast joins.

Can I join across billions of rows?

Yes. Spanner handles distributed joins. But large joins are slow. Denormalize and cache commonly-needed data. Joins are useful, but don't overthink.

What's the cost of Spanner?

Pricing based on nodes (per-node-hour) + storage. 3 nodes (minimum for HA) = ~$7K/mo. Expensive compared to Postgres. Only use if you outgrow Cloud SQL or need global distribution.

How do I migrate from Postgres to Spanner?

Dataflow (ETL pipeline) handles migration. Or use schema compatibility tools. Biggest challenge: schema design (sharding keys, interleaving). Plan carefully.
