Very true, but most people do not yet no about scale-to-zero pay-for-what-you-use sql server clouds with a free tier like CockroachDB and neon. They think that you must pay $5 a month to run a sql server, which has been the case until very recently, so they go with no sql options to get the free tier.
Edit: actualy Spanner looks like another CockroachDB. You use sql to interact with it. In which case I can see many people who would want to use this with a free tier for hobby projects. ie. in between education and production development.

It was made by Google devs who left Google having previously used spanner, and intentionally made something similar to spanner (ish, lots of handwaving happening here)
- catch22l 3y agohaha !!!. cockroachDB literally says, their motivation is spanner .. lol
- foobazgt 3y agoFYI, Spanner came long before CockroachDB. Indeed, the founders of CockroachDB are Xooglers and Spanner was inspiration for the latter.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 3y ago> actualy Spanner looks like another CockroachDB. Yeah it does :). CockroachDB set out to be an open source version of Spanner by ex-Google engineers.
- bananapub 3y ago> Edit: actualy Spanner looks like another CockroachDB lol cockroachdb is an external reimplementation of some of the ideas of spanner but without depending on excellent clocks.
