Spanner, of course, is out of the question. I like it, but it's so expensive that even Oracle Database looks cheap next to it. You might find it interesting that a single-node general-purpose RDBMS with SQL 8 years ago was capable of doing 1.2 million simple transactions per second, in this scenario I suppose they were not durable, just like Redis. I haven't read anywhere about Redis being able to get near that number, therefore I still call it slow. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server-blog/how-bwin-is-using-sql-server-2016-in-memory-oltp-to-achieve/ba-p/305413 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server-blog/how-b...
