Executive Opinion

CTO, Twitter, Parag Agrawal, said, "Our initial partnership with Google Cloud has been successful and enabled us to enhance the productivity of our engineering teams. Building on this relationship and Google's technologies will allow us to learn more from our data, move faster and serve more relevant content to the people who use our service every day. As Twitter continues to scale, we're excited to partner with Google on more industry-leading technology innovation in the data and machine learning space."

CEO of Google Cloud, Thomas Kurian, said, "Helping customers manage the entire continuum of data - from storage to analytics to AI - is one of our key differentiators at Google Cloud. It's been phenomenal to watch this company grow over the years, and we're excited to partner with Twitter to innovate for the future and deliver the best experience possible for the people that use Twitter every day."
