google-cloud-spanner

Google Cloud Spanner API (docs) provides a fully managed, mission-critical, relational database service that offers transactional consistency at global scale, schemas, SQL (ANSI 2011 with extensions), and automatic, synchronous replication for high availability.

NOTICE: Freezing development of Database, Instance and Backup classes.

From google-cloud-spanner/v2.11.0 onwards, new features for mananging databases, instances and backups will only be available through the google-cloud-spanner-admin-instance-v1 and google-cloud-spanner-admin-database-v1 packages. The Database,

Instance and Backup classes in google-cloud-spanner and methods related to database and instance management in the Project class, will no longer be updated to support new features. Please refer to the FAQ for further details.

Quick Start

$ gem install google-cloud-spanner

Authentication

This library uses Service Account credentials to connect to Google Cloud services. When running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Google Compute Engine (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google App Engine (GAE), Google Cloud Functions (GCF) and Cloud Run, the credentials will be discovered automatically. When running on other environments the Service Account credentials can be specified by providing the path to the JSON file, or the JSON itself, in environment variables.

Instructions and configuration options are covered in the Authentication Guide.

Example

require "google/cloud/spanner"

spanner = Google::Cloud::Spanner.new

db = spanner.client "my-instance", "my-database"

db.transaction do |tx|
  results = tx.execute_query "SELECT * FROM users"

  results.rows.each do |row|
    puts "User #{row[:id]} is #{row[:name]}"
  end
end

Enabling Logging

To enable logging for this library, set the logger for the underlying gRPC library. The logger that you set may be a Ruby stdlib Logger as shown below, or a Google::Cloud::Logging::Logger that will write logs to Stackdriver Logging. See grpc/logconfig.rb and the gRPC spec_helper.rb for additional information.

Configuring a Ruby stdlib logger:

require "logger"

module MyLogger
  LOGGER = Logger.new $stderr, level: Logger::WARN
  def logger
    LOGGER
  end
end

# Define a gRPC module-level logger method before grpc/logconfig.rb loads.
module GRPC
  extend MyLogger
end

FAQ for freezing development of Database, Instance and Backup classes

Can I keep using the frozen classes and methods?

Yes, these classes and methods can continue to be used for the forseeable future, even in production applications. P0/P1 bug fixes and security patches for up to 1 year will be provided after google-cloud-spanner/v2.11.0 is released.

When should I use the google-cloud-spanner-admin-instance-v1 and google-cloud-spanner-admin-database-v1 packages?

Only when your application needs to use Cloud Spanner features for managing databases and instances that are released after google-cloud-spanner/v2.11.0. You may continue to use the existing Database, Instance and Backup classes from google-cloud-spanner, and the methods from the Project class for all existing usages in your code for managing databases, instances and backups.

Which classes and methods are subject to the freeze?

Backup

  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Backup
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Backup::Job
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Backup::Job::List
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Backup::List
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Backup::Restore::Job

Database

  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::BackupInfo
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::Config
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::Job
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::Job::List
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::List
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Database::RestoreInfo

Instance

  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Instance
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Instance::Config
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Instance::Job
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Instance::Job::List
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Instance::List

Project

  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#create_database
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#create_instance
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#database
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#databases
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#database_path
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#instance
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#instances
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#instance_config
  • Google::Cloud::Spanner::Project#instance_configs

Where can I find code samples?

The code samples for all new features that relate to managing databases and instances will include code samples on how to use the feature through google-cloud-spanner-admin-instance-v1 or google-cloud-spanner-admin-database-v1 in the documentation.

Code samples on how to manage instances and databases can also be found in OVERVIEW.

Supported Ruby Versions

This library is supported on Ruby 2.5+.

Google provides official support for Ruby versions that are actively supported by Ruby Core—that is, Ruby versions that are either in normal maintenance or in security maintenance, and not end of life. Currently, this means Ruby 2.5 and later. Older versions of Ruby may still work, but are unsupported and not recommended. See https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/ for details about the Ruby support schedule.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
