A US-based AI-powered content intelligence platform that enables businesses and marketers to plan, research, create, and optimize content with a strong focus on SEO performance. They serve over 200,000 marketers and businesses across 150+ countries
The Problem Statement
As the business scaled, the existing GCP infrastructure began to hinder growth—manual VM management caused environment drift and operational overhead, while escalating costs and complex data migration challenges added further strain. With over 3.5 TB of assets and critical service dependencies, the team needed a scalable, cost-effective, and resilient infrastructure to support innovation without disruption or vendor lock-in.
Project Overview
Top 3 Achievements
Challenges
Fragmented VM Deployments
Individually managed environments (Dev, QA, Prod) led to configuration drift, manual scaling, inefficient resource utilization, and high operational overhead during updates.
Costly Managed Services
Fully managed GCP and Azure services exceeded budget, demanding self-managed, cost-efficient alternatives.
Static Data Migration Hurdles
Static assets over 3.5TB in GCP buckets triggered sync issues and 404 errors during transfer attempts.
Inefficient Load Balancing
Dedicated load balancers for each app increased cost, complexity, and management overhead.
Application Schema Complexity
MySQL schema limitations (e.g., reserved keywords) affected upgrade paths and replication logic during the database transition.
Post Migration Compatability
Redis and MySQL behaved differently post-migration, demanding real-time performance tuning and stability checks.
