As a global go-to for streaming, Spotify is no stranger to innovation. For their latest round of platform enhancements, we put together a multi-skilled team to help them solve complex challenges, expand their offering and stay at the cutting edge of audio user experience.
The Results
With the Techsmidt changes implemented by our consultants we reduced pipeline operating costs by 85%, enhanced Scala code, integrated third-party voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Siri and leveraged machine learning like BigQuery, BigTable, Firestore and Cassandra to enhance fraud prevention.We also developed a new Java-based microservice backend for managing user behavior.
Among these technical achievements was mentorship and collaboration with Spotify’s team throughout, ensuring sustained growth and enabling teams to develop and deploy new features with confidence.
