Sittercity worked with Pythian (formerly Agosto), a Google Cloud Premier Partner and recipient of the Google Cloud 2016 Americas Partner Award for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Customer Success, to plan and execute a lift-and-shift migration to GCP that did not require any changes at the application level. Pythian helped move 3TB of photos and customer data to GCP, while Pythian’s Google Cloud sales team recommended using preemptible VMs to reduce costs without sacrificing application stability.
