Explanation
Cloud Spanner is Google's globally distributed, horizontally scalable, strongly consistent relational database. It uniquely combines relational semantics (SQL, ACID transactions) with NoSQL-like horizontal scaling. It automatically handles sharding, replication, and failover across regions - making it ideal for globally distributed e-commerce workloads. Cloud SQL lacks global horizontal scaling. Cloud Firestore is a NoSQL document DB without strong relational transaction support at global scale. Cloud Storage is object storage, not a database.
