The disclosures detail massive infrastructure commitments and infrastructure scaling challenges.


According to data filed Monday covering the period through Sept. 30, the company's revenue reached $17 billion for the quarter, up from $11,5 billion in the previous quarter. But operating losses widened along with revenue as computing power costs rose.
