Case Study: Online Streaming Music Providing Company achieves a scalable human-curated music platform with Pythian

Pythian Helps Transform Streaming Music Service with Hadoop Solution

Online Streaming Music Providing Company wanted to create a new, human-curated listening and music discovery platform, but needed a flexible, high-performance data architecture to handle more than 20 million tracks and large volumes of usage, social, and curator data. It partnered with Pythian for big data, MySQL, and SRE expertise to integrate multiple open source technologies on a new platform.

Pythian designed and implemented an end-to-end MapR Hadoop infrastructure, working closely with the company’s internal teams and adapting plans as requirements changed. The solution successfully supported the platform’s launch and handled a 20-fold spike in demand during the Grammy Awards, helping the service scale smoothly under heavy traffic.
