Case Study: Daffodil Software halves time-to-market and saves 80 hours/month with Google Cloud Platform

Software Firm Slashes App Development Time in Half with Google App Engine and Google Cloud SQL

Daffodil Software, an India‑based IT firm with about 180 employees that builds web applications such as CRM and school ERP systems, needed a cloud hosting solution to cut development time and costs. Their prior setup on Amazon EC2 with MySQL required lengthy build/test/deploy cycles and manual scaling, making it hard to deliver products quickly or handle usage spikes.

By moving to Google App Engine and adopting Google Cloud SQL for SQL querying, indexing and dynamic filtering, Daffodil automated scalability and simplified database administration. The change saved roughly 80 hours of development time per month, cut time‑to‑market in half for key products like their Student Information System, and reduced operational overhead while improving data reliability.
