| | Spanner is a rare example of a distributed database that supports externally consistent distributed transactions. Many other databases either choose not to implement distributed transactions at all, or opt for weaker consistency models because of the performance cost involved. In this post, we'll learn how Google's TrueTime API enables it to provide this guarantee at a good performance.
