Case Study: Podo achieves scalable, cost-efficient growth with Looker

Podo - Customer Case Study

Podo, a Spain-based utilities startup, wanted to simplify electricity and gas billing through a fully online service while keeping costs low and building an infrastructure that could handle rapid growth and strict regulatory demands. Working with Looker’s broader cloud analytics ecosystem, Podo needed a scalable, reliable way to manage traffic spikes and support its customer-facing platform.

Looker helped Podo implement a flexible, cloud-based solution with scalable infrastructure, monitoring, and pay-as-you-go pricing. The result was a system that could quickly scale up and down, absorb a 1,000x traffic spike to 50,000 users after a national TV ad, and do so at a fraction of the cost of physical machines, while maintaining short response times and strong reliability.
