This may be a more appropriate source, from the source:

https://labs.spotify.com/2019/11/12/spotifys-event-delivery-...

This is correct link https://labs.spotify.com/2020/02/18/wrapping-up-the-decade-a...

Ok, we've changed to that from https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/18/how-spotify-ran-the-larges.... Thanks all!

The new Spotify blog only states that "the Wrapped Campaign data pipeline had one of the largest Dataflow jobs to ever run on GCP," without claiming that it was the largest ever. I didn't see any additional evidence in the TechCrunch article to support this being the largest either.

Not sure if a better title is warranted ("How Spotify ran its massive Google Dataflow job for Wrapped 2019", "How Spotify ran one of the largest Google Dataflow jobs ever for Wrapped 2019"?).

Ok, we've knocked the largest down to size in the title above.

I always tell startups not to use superlatives on HN. Modest language sounds stronger.

Much better article, thanks for sharing.
