SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe Virtual – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced that Spotify, which transformed music listening forever when it launched in 2008, has won the CNCF End User Award in recognition of its notable contributions to the cloud native ecosystem.

Spotify joined the CNCF End User Community in early 2018 while transitioning to cloud native and Kubernetes-based infrastructure. Today, the company is an active user of CNCF projects, including Argo, FluentD, OPA, gRPC, Envoy, and Kubernetes. It now operates more than 150 Kubernetes clusters running over 2,800 services across all its software lifecycle. Spotify also contributes back to almost all of the CNCF projects it uses. To date, Spotify team members have made more than 15,000 contributions to 13 different CNCF projects.

“Spotify was an early member of the CNCF End User Community and has since become one of the largest contributors and thought leaders inside CNCF,” said Cheryl Hung, VP of Ecosystem at Cloud Native Computing Foundation. “We’ve seen the team grow from building much of its infrastructure to embracing and evangelizing the benefits of open source technologies. We are thrilled to present them with this award and look forward to the company’s continued contributions across the community.”
