Cloud Spanner

Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, mission-critical, relational database service that offers transactional consistency at global scale, automatic, synchronous replication for high availability, and support for two SQL dialects: GoogleSQL (ANSI 2011 with extensions) and PostgreSQL.

You can now use the GoogleSQL ML.PREDICT function to convert your natural language query text into an embedding and perform approximate nearest neighbors (ANN) vector search
