Case Study: happn achieves scalable global app performance with Looker

Happn The app where immediacy and mobility meet

happn, the Paris-based dating app founded in 2014, needed a more flexible infrastructure to support real-time, hyper-geolocated matching as it expanded internationally. Its existing hosting model was too rigid and made it difficult to scale quickly across more than 40 countries, so it evaluated cloud platforms and selected Looker as part of its broader analytics and cloud stack.

Looker helped happn streamline data analysis and dashboarding alongside its cloud-based infrastructure, enabling teams to monitor user activity and business performance more efficiently. The result was faster access to insights, less time spent on infrastructure management, and support for rapid global growth, with the app handling nearly 40 million registered users and about 10 billion monthly requests.
