Looks pretty good, but very expensive, you guys should consider allowing normal people to use your products, not only big enterprises

is she using chrome os?

I believe a regional spanner has higher throughput than a multi-regional spanner instance. To achieve higher performance, follow schema design best practices at cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/schema-design ; I heard Spanner is powering some of the famous products such as Google play store, Gmail, Spotify while Apple's app store uses Cassandra.

Is it possible to use SQL with Spanner?

[@stephaniewong142]

Yup! Cloud Spanner enables you to query databases using declarative SQL statements that specify what data you want to retrieve. cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/sql-best-practices
