Case Study: Snapfrozen achieves 60% hosting cost savings and halved release cycles with Google Cloud Platform

PVsell and Snapfrozen Increasing flexibility and performance

PVsell, a workflow platform for solar businesses and investors, faced rising complexity in quoting and compliance as batteries and new regulations entered the market. To scale and keep development agile, PVsell engaged energy‑sector technology consultancy Snapfrozen (which supports ~400 clients) to find a more cost‑effective, reliable infrastructure and custom development partner.

Snapfrozen migrated PVsell to Google Cloud Platform—moving databases to Cloud SQL, adopting Stackdriver monitoring, Maps/Places APIs and BigQuery, and planning serverless containers—unlocking features like easy instance replication and parallel branch testing. The move cut hosting costs by about 60%, halved software release cycles, delivered near‑zero downtime, reduced latency with local regions, and improved development agility and performance.
