During a review of the records made by an ex-employee of the company where I'm working now, I found many records starting with "Spike on", such as:
- Spike on how to detect new blobs in an Azure Storage account
- Spike on how to trigger a job after a new blob is uploaded using Azure
- Spike on replacing the DASH player with the Azure Media Player
The literal translation makes no sense or very vague in Spanish. I think that it means "research", or something similar.
What does it really mean?
Is it a common expression?

It may make not much sense until you read it in the context of Scrum or Agile software development.
According to Wikipedia, spike is:
The use of Spike on { how to / replacing } in the records you found is just the use of spike as a verb, which basically means "research a concept or create a prototype". Your guess is really close!
