I am novice in GCP stack so I am so confused about amount GCP technologies for storing data:
https://cloud.google.com/products/storage
Although google cloud spanner is not mentioned in the article above I know that it is exist and iti is used for data storage: https://cloud.google.com/spanner
From my current view I don't see any significant difference between cloud sql(with postgres under the hood) and cloud spanner. I found that it has a bit different syntax but it doesn't answer when I should prefer this techology to spring cloud sql.
Could you please explain it ?
P.S.
I consider spring cloud sql as a traditional database with automatic replication and horizontal scalability managed by google.
