Yeah. I think the whole point of Spanner is to handle larger, larger, larger workloads and databases, and if you can fit everything on a single server, you definitely should.

Comparing Postgres to Spanner is kind of like comparing a delivery van to a train. The train is always going to have higher overhead costs.

Linux admin is a useful skill, but I know my Linux admin skills can’t compete with the reliability, availability, and scalability of cloud systems… like Dynamo, S3, Spanner, etc.
