This reads like they've been acquired by Google and are integrating. Now Google just has to write the check and own music streaming.

Hmmm...interesting point but Google already has an awful lot of music infrastructure in the form of Google Music and YouTube does it not? Would it really make sense for them to purchase Spotify too?

Smells like a puff-piece

A puff piece would be if some tech reporter wrote about the wonders of GCP. This is the Spotify team, and they've clearly put their money where their mouth is by actually making the move.

Marketing blog spam is the new puff piece.

I tried Google Container Engine (GKE) and really liked it - it's the best cloud solution for deploying Docker to production in my opinion, mainly due to its use of Kubernetes. Unfortunately in my Web apps I make heavy use of Postgres-specific features, and since Cloud SQL only supports MySQL, Google Cloud is a total non-starter for me. So for now I'm on AWS, using Postgres on RDS and deploying containers with ECS. EC…

Is there any reason you can't mix and match Google Container Engine and Amazon RDS?
