As an avid user of both SQL and NoSql, I really love how you guys are amalgamating the best of both concepts into one. CAP made easy indeed!
Great video! Looking forward to more.

I don't know why, but it somehow feels really good that this was made from a home, not a big office or big studio.
(Spanner looks really cool too ☺)

Hi Team,
Can you please upload a video on difference between, google cloud spanner vs bigtable vs big query

[teamvigod]

This looks good. Wish I had this 15 years ago!

Traditional databases force us to choose between availability (stale data) and consistency (no data) not performance and consistency

[goodev]

Stephanie, could you explain how Cloud Spanner manages connections as if it uses connection pools or does it offer new approaches to connection management to handle higher traffic?

[blahboom]
