I guess they are not entirely on Google Cloud but rather their data warehousing / big data stuff is now?/going? to be on GCP.
I don't really call big data processing "backend" but rather the microservices the backend. Its not clear to me if those are going to be ported over or if they are already.
Does spotify plan on porting everything over or just the heavy computing? A detailed techy case study I hope will follow soon as I am interested (the DevOps pain is very real).

I don't know why you would guess that: the Google announcement indicates that the migration has both a "services" track and a "data" track. And Spotify's announcement certainly seems to indicate that they are moving off of their own datacenters, onto Google Cloud Platform, and not in a limited way.
So... basically nothing is live yet? Are you from Google? Is anything live. I admit I got confused by the OP title: "Spotify moves its back end to Google Cloud".
