In fact Youtube for a long time was running on MySQL with a tiny service called "vitess" on top of it to handle (Sharding/partitioning) automatically. I dont know if they are still using Vitess or migrated to Google other relational Database "Spanner"

YouTube switched some Vitess workloads over to Procella. http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol12/p2022-chattopadhyay.pdf http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol12/p2022-chattopadhyay.pdf In general I've noticed that people outside Google assume that Spanner is much more popular than it really is.

  To be honest I am surprised its not more popular. if you work at google and its one of the option to choose from! Is there any reason to "not" choose spanner for new project and instead use something else?

    It's expensive.
