Spotify's CDN Alignment Experience

Spotify aimed to improve its content delivery network (CDN) services for a seamless streaming experience. The company had multiple CDN solutions, which added complexity and inefficiency. To address this, Spotify's CDN squad standardized their CDNs using Fastly's edge cloud platform, creating a self-service tool called SquadCDN for easy configuration and review. This approach led to successful CDN alignment, with over 60 squads using the new configuration system and 80+ services pushing content through Fastly more efficiently.
