Case Study: BetterCloud achieves 20x faster, continuous SaaS management at billion-object scale with Google Cloud Platform

BetterCloud Scaling for success on Google Cloud Platform

BetterCloud is the first SaaS application management and security platform, helping IT teams centralize, automate, and enforce policies across G Suite and other apps like Slack, Salesforce, and Dropbox. As the product expanded beyond a single app, BetterCloud faced a unique scaling challenge: managing billions of data objects, hundreds of millions of daily API calls, and ensuring high availability and security across diverse SaaS environments.

By building on Google Cloud Platform (Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud CDN, load balancing and autoscaling) BetterCloud scaled capacity and performance without passing costs to customers. The platform now manages billions of objects for millions of users, delivers up to 20x faster service, runs continuous (rather than daily) app scans, and achieved operational gains including ~20% cost savings and ~50% faster response to customer data changes.
