Google Cloud Spanner for Development


Is there a way to setup a Development env for Google Cloud Spanner?

Is this this "How to run Cloud Spanner in a Container" for dev? Or is the only solution to run a cloud spanner for dev a single node? I think this is really expensive for dev.


Solution

  • At the moment the only way is to run a single node for development as there is no local emulator.

    GCP does have a $300 trial credit for new users, which would enable you to run the single node system at 8 hours a day for over a month with 1GB of storage.
