A Google Cloud Platform Case Study
floreysoft, a Hamburg-based developer, created Universal Contact Manager, Shared Groups and SmartMail to extend Gmail and Google Apps with secure contact management, sharing and personalized email campaigns. The company needed a development and hosting environment that would integrate with Google tools, protect customer privacy, support OAuth/OpenID single sign-on, and scale reliably as usage grew.
floreysoft built its apps on Google App Engine (after Python proofs of concept) using Java and App Engine APIs such as Datastore, OAuth, Mail and Blobstore to enable secure access, personalized storage and fast email personalization. The result: seamless scaling from a few records to millions without performance loss, millions of emails and connections processed, strong customer praise, and expanded reach through YouTube (first screencast 30,000+ views), AdWords, the Google Apps Marketplace and the Chrome Web Store.
