SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha spanner samples run APPNAME --instance-id=INSTANCE_ID [--no-cleanup] [--database-id=DATABASE_ID] [--duration=DURATION; default="1h"] [--skip-init] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Each Cloud Spanner sample application includes a backend gRPC service backed by a Cloud Spanner database and a workload script that generates service traffic. This command creates and initializes the Cloud Spanner database and runs both the backend service and workload script.

These sample apps are open source and available at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-spanner-samples.

To see a list of available sample apps, run:

$ gcloud alpha spanner samples list

EXAMPLES

To run the 'finance' sample app using instance 'my-instance', run:

$ gcloud alpha spanner samples run finance --instance-id=my-instance

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

APPNAME

The sample app name, e.g. "finance".

REQUIRED FLAGS

--instance-id=INSTANCE_ID

The Cloud Spanner instance ID for the sample app.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--cleanup

Delete the instance after running the sample app. Enabled by default, use --no-cleanup to disable.

--database-id=DATABASE_ID

--duration=DURATION; default="1h"

Duration of time allowed to run the sample app before stopping the service.

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:

$ gcloud spanner samples run

$ gcloud beta spanner samples run
