Announcing Spanner queues: Transactional messaging for agentic workloads and beyond

AI agents don’t just answer queries — they can autonomously issue refunds, manage inventory, execute multi-step handoffs, and orchestrate sub-agents, to name but a few complex agentic workflows. That frequently requires the agents to maintain internal state in an operational database while dispatching asynchronous actions through a separate messaging or event queue system. And unfortunately
