Case Study: Polydice achieves greater stability, efficiency, and lower costs with Looker

Polydice Delivering mobile, personalized recipe-sharing

Polydice, the Taiwan-based company behind the iCook social recipe website and app, needed a more reliable and scalable cloud platform as usage grew to about 5 million monthly visitors and 4.5 million downloads. Using Google Cloud and Looker-related data and analytics capabilities, the team wanted to eliminate query bottlenecks, improve response times for local users, and support its move toward more AI-driven services.

Looker and the broader Google Cloud solution helped Polydice migrate iCook to a modern data stack with BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Composer, and other services. The result was a 10x improvement in data infrastructure stability, faster and more efficient operations, lower costs, and no more stuck queries delaying decision-making, giving Polydice a stronger foundation to scale and build AI-powered features.
