Case Study: Pippa achieves 50% cloud-bill savings and faster global podcast delivery with Cloudflare

Pippa partners with DigitalOcean and Cloudflare to lower costs and accelerate growth

Pippa, a podcast hosting, analytics, and advertising platform acquired by Acast, needed to deliver millions of large audio files quickly and reliably to listeners around the world. With a small team and a global user base, the company faced rising latency and significant cloud egress fees that threatened scalability and margins.

Pippa moved storage to DigitalOcean Spaces and put content on Cloudflare’s global CDN, leveraging the Bandwidth Alliance so DigitalOcean waives egress to Cloudflare. The setup reduced latency and improved DDoS protection while cutting data transfer costs—driving roughly 50% savings on their cloud bill.
