Launched in 2008, the audio streaming platform Spotify has more than 200 million active users worldwide. Initially, Spotify relied on a homegrown container orchestration system called Helios. In 2017, this became a bottleneck, and the IT team implemented Kubernetes, which increased speed while reducing costs.
With Kubernetes, the Spotify backend team can develop new services and deploy them to production within seconds or minutes. Kubernetes multi-tenancy and bin-packing have improved CPU utilization.
Many other reputable brands have successfully implemented DevOps in their ecosystem. However, not everyone is reaping the results. It's important to stay up to date with the right DevOps trends. Incorporating the right trend reduces the risk of failure, streamlines effort, and enhances the chances of successful utilization.
