Case Study: Mercury achieves 40% lower hosting costs and faster development with Google Cloud Platform

Mercury Facilitating the digital transformation journey for enterprises with Google Cloud

Mercury is a Hong Kong-based technology startup founded in 2017 that delivers cloud-based digital solutions, including applications, ERP systems, cloud security, and data analytics to more than 100 enterprise customers. As it shifted from a multi-cloud setup to a single cloud environment, Mercury needed a way to build and manage services more efficiently while reducing maintenance costs and shortening development cycles, and it chose Google Cloud Platform, including services like Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Shell.

Google Cloud Platform helped Mercury run high-performance, customizable VMs on Compute Engine, automate database management with Cloud SQL, and accelerate development with Cloud Shell. The results were significant: 2X higher computing performance, 40% lower application hosting costs, software delivery in as little as one to four days, and 80% savings in maintenance costs for one customer.
