I was thinking the same thing! Maybe it's better to look into some smaller service which offer e.g. PostgreSQL as a Service like https://www.elephantsql.com/plans.html or https://www.databaselabs.io/pricing/ (I'm sure they are even more, just done a quick googling). Does somebody has experience with such services?

PostGres at least offers full text indexing. I couldn't find that on Cloud Spanner.
