Introducing Spanner ANN: fast and scalable vector search

Learn about how easy it is to use Spanner’s new fast and scalable ANN vector search based on ScaNN, Google Research’s highly efficient vector similarity search algorithm adapted for Spanner’s distributed architecture.

Spanner is Google Cloud's fully managed distributed database service that combines horizontal scalability with relational semantics, great for both relational and non-relational operational workloads.

Spanner’s distributed and horizontally scalable architecture brings unlimited scale to vector search with support for exact nearest neighbor (KNN) search. For customers who are eyeing significant improvement to speed and scale, Spanner’s approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search is the answer.
