NAME
    gcloud spanner samples run - run the given Cloud Spanner sample app

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

DESCRIPTION
    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 spanner samples list

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

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