GCS's metadata layer was originally implemented with Megastore (the precursor to Spanner). That was seamlessly migrated to Spanner (in roughly small-to-large "region" order), as Spanner's scaling ability improved over the years. GCS was responsible for finding (and helping to knock out) quite a few scaling plateaus in Spanner.
