Are you sure? I'm not a Googler but have been told by other Googlers that Bigtable has essentially been replaced internally (though heard it's still similar). So I wasn't sure how much Bigtable is even used anymore inside of Google.

- sanxiyn 12y agoSpanner is the successor to Bigtable. It's not like Google keeps this fact secret.
- vgt 12y agoActually spanner and Bigtable have different and complementary use cases
- jpatokal 12y agoThe blog post says "the same database that drives nearly all of Google’s largest applications", and I work at Google, so yes, I'm pretty sure ;) Of course Google has a whole slew of other storage options optimized for various use cases, but some of these are actually built on top of Bigtable.
