Data is a means to an end, and Spotify extracts value from data through application. The Data Platform Studio helps Spotify win by enabling the application of data in an intuitive and efficient way. Data Platform is responsible for how data is collected, processed, stored, governed, and made available to the thousands of engineers, data scientists, analysts, and machine learning practitioners who build Spotify’s products.
