Case Study: Power Ledger achieves 30% lower infrastructure costs with Google Cloud Platform

Power Ledger Delivers blockchain-powered peer-to-peer energy trading with Google Cloud

Power Ledger, an Australian technology start-up, needed a more efficient way to run its blockchain-enabled energy trading platform as it expanded across multiple countries. Its lean team was spending too much time managing infrastructure, and it wanted a cloud platform that could better support growth, development speed, and peer-to-peer energy trading services. Google Cloud Platform, including managed Kubernetes, was chosen to help simplify operations and support the company’s software for energy and environmental commodity trading.

Google Cloud Platform helped Power Ledger migrate all services to the cloud using internal resources, aided by documentation and developer communities. The results were strong: infrastructure costs dropped 30% versus the previous cloud provider, management effort fell from one FTE to about five hours per week, and the company reported no downtime or issues after migration. Power Ledger also gained confidence in releasing new features and scaling its platform as demand grew.
