Compare power goes Google Cloud Platform
About Compare power
Since 2009, ComparePower has been on a mission to simplify the complexities that exist in the deregulated Texas electricity market.
The Challenge
Limited exposure and capability understanding of Google Cloud Platform, Application footprints are scattered across multiple SaaS service providers and best practices of managing workloads on GCP were missing. It was leading towards technical debt and there was call out happening for additional al-carte SaaS service providers rather than making best use of GCP and centralizing application management.
The Solution
With a collaborative approach along with the Evonence team, We established and adopted best practices towards Infrastructure modernization, upgrading our Continuous delivery pipeline with separation of duties and fine grained security. Engagement further benefited in extracting best from Networking & Load balancing with authentication & authorization with federated repositories, Workflow & API management using GCP services. Evonence team also extended support towards building optimized data pipeline for BigQuery Data warehousing. Demos and guidance on SRE and observability practice from Evonence using GCP services enhanced customer satisfaction.
The Outcomes
This engagement helped to modernize and standardize the Infrastructure, Continuous Delivery pipeline. We also achieved fine grained security, separation of duties for application and its hosting platform. Engagement helped in maximizing application hosting footprint on cloud and cost optimization by engineering alternative cloud solutioning for third party SaaS offerings. Overall improvement with faster to market product releases, positive customer feedback with low churn rate.
