Spanning the Globe without Google Spanner - The Distributed SQL Blog
Learn how a Spanner-like globally-consistent multi-region deployment of YugabyteDB can run on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and other Kubernetes distributions and managed services (including Amazon EKS and Azure Kubernetes Service)
Google Spanner vs. Calvin: Is There a Clear Winner in the Battle for Global Consistency at Scale? - The Distributed SQL Blog
Prof. Daniel Abadi, lead inventor of the Calvin transaction management protocol and the PACELC theorem, wrote a thought-provoking post last month titled “NewSQL database systems are failing to guarantee consistency, and I blame Spanner”. The post takes a negative view of software-only Google Spanner derivative databases such as YugaByte DB and CockroachDB that use Spanner-like partitioned consensus for single shard transactions and a two phase commit (2PC) protocol for multi-shard (aka distributed) ACID transactions....
Why Google's Spanner Database Won't Do As Well As Its Clone
Google has proven time and again it is on the extreme bleeding edge of invention when it comes to scale out architectures that make supercomputers look
