Google Cloud unveiled the general release of Cloud Spanner Data Boost on 29 August 2023 at its yearly Cloud Next summit. Thanks to the management of Data Boost, users can analyze data on Google Cloud’s global database without servers.
According to Andi Gutmans, VP and General manager of Databases at Google Cloud, it is a game-changing solution that provides high-performance, on-demand analysis of operational information with a near-zero effect on customers’ mission-critical applications. It is a sophisticated solution that will greatly benefit the general public.
How is the Spanner Change stream Developed?
To create change streams in Spanner, you must have the same IAM permissions as any other schema modification.
What can it do for you?
A change stream can easily record column, table, or database differences. Each spanner change stream can have a retention period of anywhere from one day to seven days, and a user can set up multiple change streams to trace what they require for their specified objectives.
Customers can run custom queries that require access to large amounts of data through Data Boost without negatively impacting the performance of Spanner and the applications that depend on it. This allows for smooth business operations without incurring significant expenses. Google claims to achieve this by utilizing its segmented compute and storage design for Spanner, which also serves as the foundation for Google’s services like Facebook and YouTube.
The company is new, and the customers can expect more intricate features and technologies in the future that will make these operations much more accessible.
