## The brief

In a Google Cloud customer account, PayPal describes migrating analytics workloads from on-premises Hadoop systems to Managed Service for Apache Spark. The company says the move consolidated fragmented workflows, shortened cluster provisioning and improved integration with Cloud Storage and BigQuery. PayPal reports a 25% improvement in core workload processing times, alongside lower operational overhead; those results reflect its own deployment.
