The Solution

Powerful experiences, powered by the cloud

Spotify’s trailblazing engineers bring powerful and intimate audio experiences to hundreds of millions of people every day. Prioritizing speed and focus, they automated the lower-value work of some 20,000 data pipelines freeing up time for analysis and action and increased their computing efficiency by about 300%.

“All-in” business scaling

In less than a decade, Spotify became a force in audio entertainment, with millions of fans, global teams, and a business using 100s of petabytes of data. Running their own data centers took time and energy away from the core business. Choosing one cloud, they took full advantage of their customer-first engineering talent, plus cloud-based data insight.

What does the future of cloud computing hold—and what does this mean for businesses? Google Cloud looked at the data, talked to luminaries, and listened to customers across the world. Download the "Future of Cloud Computing" report to see where the cloud is going or read more about the luminaries.
