Program Overview: What is Google Cloud Spanner?
Google Cloud Spanner is a globally distributed relational database that combines strong consistency with horizontal scale. This program teaches your team to design schemas, write efficient distributed SQL, and operate Spanner instances across regions with confidence.
Led by cloud data engineers who run globally distributed databases in production, the program moves from architecture and schema design to transactions, indexing, and multi-region operations. Every module includes guided hands-on labs on realistic data workloads, so your team practices the exact tasks they will own in production: modeling, loading, tuning, and monitoring.
The program closes with a capstone full build: a multi-region Spanner database with schema, data loads, and failover tests, reviewed by the instructor against production standards.
Teams leave able to design Spanner schemas that scale, write and tune distributed SQL, and operate instances across regions, with reference materials to support the first production rollout.

Google Cloud Spanner Course Topics and Program Outline
6 modules, 24 instructor-led hours, and 3 guided labs that move Google Cloud Spanner from theory to dependable team practice.
Built by Edstellar with cloud data engineers who run globally distributed databases in production
Built by cloud data engineers who run globally distributed Spanner instances in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We check where your team stands on Spanner today, so the program targets real gaps instead of repeating what they know.
Instructor-led sessions teach cloud data concepts in order, with demos and Q&A in every module.
guided labs give your team coached repetition on realistic cloud data scenarios with instructor review.
The capstone full build proves the learning: a multi-region Spanner build, built, reviewed, and ready to take back to work.
From baseline to job-ready in 24 hours.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team will design Spanner schemas that distribute cleanly, write and tune distributed SQL, manage transactions, and operate multi-region instances with backup and monitoring in place.
Spanner architecture
Explain how Spanner combines global distribution with strong consistency, and choose the right instance configuration.
Schema design
Model interleaved tables and primary keys that distribute reads and writes evenly.
Distributed SQL
Write efficient queries and mutations, read query plans, and tune slow operations.
Transactions
Use read-write transactions, stale reads, and partitioned DML correctly under load.
Multi-region ops
Configure multi-region instances, backups, IAM, and monitoring for production.
Performance tuning
Find hotspots with metrics and plans, then fix them with schema and query changes.
Production readiness
Harden a Spanner deployment with recovery tests and operational runbooks.
