Accelerating Cloud Transformation: Migrating to GCP

Business Opportunity

Seamless Infrastructure Migration

AccioJob, an ed-tech platform based in Haryana, India, offers a premier learning experience for students aspiring to build careers in software development. With a strong presence in the industry, the platform has 131,000 registered users, including 20,000 actively participating in the pre-course and 1,400 enrolled in the full program. 

As part of its B2B strategy, AccioJob collaborated with colleges to source users from the student community. Their infrastructure was previously hosted on DigitalOcean, and they aimed to move to GCP to leverage an optimized cloud environment. The migration was driven by the need to utilize Google Cloud’s advanced capabilities in the compute engine, storage, and database management. 

Niveus Solutions, Part of NTT DATA, assisted the client in migrating their infrastructure to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This transformation provided AccioJob with a robust and scalable cloud infrastructure, enabling seamless growth and expansion.

The Challenge

​Before migrating to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AccioJob faced challenges including – 

• Performance limitations – Existing infrastructure on DigitalOcean struggled to meet growing demands.
• Scalability challenges – Difficulty in handling increasing user traffic and expanding workloads.
• Cost inefficiencies – Higher operational expenses due to suboptimal resource utilization.

Our Solution

Niveus enabled AccioJob’s move from DigitalOcean to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), ensuring a smooth transition. The redesigned infrastructure enhances scalability, performance, and resource efficiency. Migrating data to Google Cloud Storage improved security, reliability, and seamless integration with GCP services. This upgrade empowered AccioJob with a resilient cloud foundation to support its ongoing growth.

Google Compute Engine was used to host blogs, booking systems, and internal tools, providing scalable and reliable virtual machines to handle varying workloads efficiently. Web applications were deployed on Google App Engine to enable automatic scaling and reduce infrastructure management efforts.

To ensure a secure and well-structured cloud environment, the GCP infrastructure was configured with VPC networks, firewalls, and subnets, allowing controlled access and efficient network segmentation. Product images were stored on Google Cloud Storage to enable cost-effective, high-availability storage with seamless accessibility.

Google Deployment Manager was leveraged to automate resource provisioning and simplify infrastructure management. Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) was implemented to enforce role-based access control, enhancing security and compliance. Additionally, Cloud Operations Suite was utilized for real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting, ensuring proactive issue resolution and system reliability.

Results

• Zero Downtime Migration: 7 applications and 1 database successfully migrated from DigitalOcean to GCP, ensuring a smooth transition.
• No Data Loss: All data securely moved from DigitalOcean Storage Object Service (SOS) to Google Cloud Storage for enhanced reliability.
• Improved Resilience: Better scalability, performance, and reliability with a more efficient and robust cloud environment.
• Enhanced Connectivity: Seamless connectivity with Google Cloud services to drive better operational efficiency and resource utilization.
• Strengthened Security: Enhanced data protection and availability, enabling long-term scalability and business growth.
