Google Cloud inks multi-year deal with Twitter for ML-based data processing & analytics

San Francisco: Google has inked a multi-year deal with Twitter to help the micro-blogging platform with data processing and analytics based on machine learning tools.

Twitter in 2018 decided to work with Google Cloud to move cold data storage and its flexible compute Hadoop clusters to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), to enable the company enhance the experience and productivity of its engineering teams working with its data platform.

“Our initial partnership with Google Cloud has been successful and enabled us to enhance the productivity of our engineering teams,” Twitter CTO Parag Agrawal said in a statement on Thursday.
