Spotify announced that it will forego business with Amazon Web Service and will be moving to Google Cloud Platform.

The announcement is a great gain for Google, whose cloud service currently ranks third in the cloud computing industry, behind Amazon and Microsoft's Azure Service, according to MarketWatch.

Spotify's vice president of engineering and infrastructure, Nicholas Harteau, said that the move was made simply because the company sees that Google can better cater to the needs of the music streaming app since it has better data-analytics features that can analyze massive data and improve the fine-tuning of the listening recommendations for each user, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"That's where Google has the edge and that's where we think they will continue to have the edge," said Harteau.

Companies are acquiring the cloud-computing services in order to save money and have better data service compared to building their own. This way, companies will only be spending money on the "rent" cost per minute or hour.

This is exactly how Spotify thinks it will benefit from the shift to Google Platform. As the company grows, it can have easy access to Google's cloud and increase its data space without the need to buy more servers, according to Business Insider.
