Case Study: GGMUG (Gwinnett, Georgia Microsoft User Group) achieves easy Git deployment, no server management, and built-in load balancing with Everleap

GGMUG - Customer Case Study

The Gwinnett Georgia Microsoft User Group (GGMUG), led by founder Jeff Ammons, runs a community of over 600 developers and needed reliable, affordable hosting that kept up with ASP.NET updates, simplified deployments, and didn’t require managing servers. After stints with GoDaddy and shared hosting, the group sought a platform with predictable pricing, good support, and features like Git deployment and built‑in load balancing that fit a small, volunteer‑run operation.

Everleap, built on the Windows Azure Pack and sponsored to host GGMUG, provided that PaaS solution: easy Git versioning and rollback, two load‑balanced servers without server administration, simple migration, and responsive human support. The result was faster, safer deployments, lower operational overhead, predictable costs compared with larger cloud providers, and more time for the organizers to focus on growing the group and improving site features.
