It has for Google internally. No reason why they can't share the service externally.
- discodave 10y agoActually, there are lots of reasons why it's hard to share a service externally. Making a service public means you have to deal with lots of new problems like billing, abuse, dealing with lots of small users instead of a few large ones, stronger backwards compatibility requirements and so-forth.
- xapata 10y agoYes, but those are orthogonal to the scaling issues that I presume user5994461 was thinking of.
- discodave 10y agoThat's kind of the point, when you make a service like Cloud Spanner public you create new scaling dimensions. New scaling dimensions means new problems to solve that are not trivial.
