Is anyone outside of Google or msft using these proprietary k/v/sql/Json databases?
As a developer I can't bring myself to code against something I can't install on my laptop. And as enterprises would go, they won't use any data store that can't run their financials/hr/ldap/sharepoint thing.
So, who uses them and for what?
- tyingq 9y agoYour viewpoint is shared by many, but there are lots of enterprises using proprietary cloud features. They either use an abstraction layer for running on a laptop, or otherwise a CI process that kicks off dev instances and test cases on demand, forcing you to be online when you check things in. That's not terribly new. Teams have had to find solutions/standins for things like AWS load balancers, lambdas, certificate servers, etc. Cloud spanner, being fairly new and unusual (SQL, but no INSERT/UPDATE), though, doesn't yet have a big name customer. Jda.com and quizlet.com were their reference customers.
