I sat down with David Liu, Founder and CEO of Musify and Sergey Kandaurov, Founder and CTO, Flexify.IO to deep dive into this migration story. They tried to do it themselves but soon realized that they needed an expert and that’s when they turned to Flexify.IO, an expert in cloud storage virtualization and migration. Their biggest challenge was to migrate over 500TB of data without service interruption and breaking the workflow of their listeners.

So the company decided to migrate to a more affordable, yet efficient solution with Backblaze and Cloudflare. Musify was hosted on Google Cloud, and like other hyperscalers, it was getting very expensive because of storage and data transfer costs. Musify is a new music streaming platform that helps users carry their music with them so they can continue to enjoy their music, irrespective of where they are.
