Case Study: Zesty.io achieves 250x growth in monthly platform requests with Google Cloud Platform

Zesty.io Providing a reliable enterprise Content as a Service (CaaS) Platform

Zesty.io, a cloud-native Content as a Service (CaaS) provider, needed a reliable, low‑administration platform to handle rapidly growing content-management demand while preserving a cloud-first approach. The company sought better performance, simpler scalability, and tools to free engineering time for customer-focused work.

By moving to Google Cloud—using GKE containerization, App Engine, Fastly CDN, Cloud Load Balancing, Stackdriver, BigQuery and managed services like Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage—Zesty.io simplified operations, cut infrastructure overhead and improved monitoring. The result: platform requests grew from 2 million to nearly 500 million per month (≈250x), 99.99% uptime over 12 months, a 1:7 infrastructure-to-backend staffing ratio, and reduced cluster costs, enabling teams to focus on product and customer growth.
