I (Xoogler) personally don't think Google is as evil as they color it. But the risk of The Algorithm locking me out on a whim is definitely scary. That's why I'm following more of a "have a backup plan" strategy: mo

How is Slog different (or better) than multiple asynchronously-replicated regional deployments of Spanner? Or, even simpler, a single Spanner deployment where different sets of groups have different replication configurations. That is, in f
