Prefab recently published a blog post about how they use Spanner's PostgreSQL interface to power features like feature flags and dynamic logging. As someone who has experimented with Spanner, I found this article particularly interesting.
What stood out to me was how Prefab was able to achieve significant cost savings by using Spanner. They are paying a third of the cost of traditional PostgreSQL while getting 100x more storage and less downtime. This is a testament to the scalability and cost-effectiveness of Spanner.
I was also impressed by how Prefab leveraged Spanner features like multi-region replication and horizontal scaling. They highlighted how easy it is to scale Spanner, making it an attractive option for businesses that require high availability and scalability.
Furthermore, their experience with Spanner's PostgreSQL interface is encouraging. The compatibility with PostgreSQL makes it easy for developers to transition to Spanner without having to learn a new query language or deal with major code changes.
Overall, Prefab's blog post provides a compelling case study for using Spanner. It highlights the key benefits of Spanner, such as scalability, cost, and ease of use. For businesses looking for a reliable and performant database, Spanner is definitely worth considering.
