Case Study: Dailyhunt achieves near-real-time CDN monitoring and petabyte-scale analytics with Looker and Google Cloud

Dailyhunt Improving user engagement with instant scalability and data-led insights

Dailyhunt, a hyperlocal content and news aggregator platform serving more than 350 million users across India, faced the challenge of scaling reliably while delivering content in over 16 languages with low latency and strong personalization. The company needed a flexible, cloud-based way to handle unpredictable traffic spikes, monitor CDN performance, and support its growing media operations, using Looker tools alongside Google Cloud analytics.

Looker, together with Google Cloud services like BigQuery, helped Dailyhunt analyze petabytes of CDN data in near real time, create ad hoc reports, and automate alerts for performance issues. This improved visibility into latency, errors, and user experience, enabling faster decisions and a more seamless content delivery experience for Dailyhunt, with insights available in seconds even at petabyte scale.
