Spanner Omni , the deploy-anywhere version of Spanner, is now generally available, ready to power your most demanding production workloads in your on-premises data center or on other clouds.
With Spanner, Google pioneered the distributed SQL market over a decade ago, combining the horizontal scalability of NoSQL with the ACID compliance and strong consistency of a traditional relational database. Since then, Spanner has evolved into an interoperable multi-model database that simplifies complex workloads and powers agentic AI, combining SQL, graph, key-value, full-text search, vector search, and analytical processing with a columnar engine, all in a single database.
When we debuted Spanner Omni at Google Cloud Next ’26 , we untethered our distributed database from Google Cloud and brought it directly to your infrastructure. This generated incredible interest from both the enterprise customers and developer community.
Spanner Omni delivers the same core capabilities as the fully managed Spanner service, with the added freedom to deploy it wherever you need it. Whether you’re running virtual machines or Kubernetes in your private data centers, running a multi-cloud deployment that spans multiple clouds, or testing locally on a laptop, Spanner Omni brings Google-grade consistency, availability, scale, and interoperable multi-model capabilities directly to your next agentic AI applications.
Spanner Omni enables teams to build once and deploy anywhere, providing application portability across Google Cloud, on-premises and other clouds. Attio, an AI-native CRM company based in London, has built its platform on Spanner. Attio migrated its agentic application environment to a full-featured and containerized Spanner Omni + managed Spanner.
"At Attio, we are building the world's most advanced agentic application environment on Spanner to deliver on our vision for an AI-native CRM platform. Spanner Omni has been a major win for us by delivering Spanner capabilities and performance across all our environments, allowing our agents to bring complex, mission-critical workflows such as the newly announced Spanner queues, to production. With Spanner Omni, we have been able to accelerate our production velocity at a truly enhanced level of scale and confidence that was not possible earlier." - Alexander Christie, Co-Founder & CTO, Attio
Spanner Omni extends Spanner's converged multi-model foundation directly to your private infrastructure and third-party clouds, providing critical capabilities for AI workloads:
Vector search and Spanner Graph : Natively store and index vector embeddings alongside your relational tables. With support for KNN and ANN search, you can combine semantic similarity with structured SQL filters. Spanner Graph integrates property graphs directly into the engine, allowing you to trace complex entity relationships and connect graph traversals with vector search.
