Delivering Music Recommendations to Millions
At its heart, presenting personalized data and experiences for users is simple. But transferring, delivering and serving this data at high scale can become quite challenging.
In this session, we will speak about the scalability lessons we learned building Spotify's Discover system. This system generates terabytes of music recommendations that need to be delivered to tens of millions of users every day.
We will focus on the problems encountered when big data needs to be replicated across the globe to power interactive media applications, and share strategies for coping with data at this scale.
