Case Study: Weepee achieves flexible, auto-scaling, and cost-effective hosting with Google Cloud Platform

Weepee building better platforms with Compute Engine

Weepee, a Belgian VoIP and hosting provider founded in 2004 with over 30,000 customers and 75,000 phone numbers, ran its services from three local datacenters on pre‑financed bare‑metal servers. That model made expansion slow and expensive, left the company vulnerable to capacity peaks and international latency, and constrained its ability to adapt quickly to changing customer demands.

Weepee migrated to Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine using CloudEndure for near‑zero‑downtime migration (30 machines moved in two weekends), after testing multiple providers and finding GCP offered better performance and price. The move eliminated upfront hardware costs with pay‑as‑you‑go pricing, enabled automated scaling to handle peaks (e.g., 61 orders/sec on Valentine’s), reduced maintenance, and improved resilience and geographic redundancy as Weepee phases a full cloud transition over the coming years.
