A financial SaaS company faced severe scalability issues as its blockchain platform struggled to ingest a new data block every 1.5 seconds, pushing the existing Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL infrastructure to its breaking point. They turned to Pythian to evaluate if the database could be optimized or if a migration to Google AlloyDB was necessary to sustain enterprise growth. Pythian conducted rigorous comparative testing and executed a seamless migration of over 2 billion records to the fully managed Google Cloud database. This zero-downtime migration eliminated performance bottlenecks, achieved a 300% boost in processing speed, and slashed monthly database expenses by 60%.
Where our previous database struggled to keep pace, AlloyDB delivered. By switching to AlloyDB, we tripled our processing speed, allowing us to provide the real-time, auditable DeFi data our customers rely on to make informed investment decisions.”

We’re now moving at the speed of the market and scaling into new exchanges with total confidence.”

The platform generated data every 1.5 seconds, creating insert speed limitations that stalled real-time processing.
Internal teams were unsure if performance issues stemmed from database indexes or the underlying Aurora architecture.
The company required a rapid evaluation of AlloyDB to ensure their environment could scale alongside aggressive growth.
Each blockchain source required a unique structure, complicating optimization efforts within the existing AWS environment.
Pythian ran intensive speed tests to prove Google AlloyDB could handle massive amounts of data at the same time. Our experts used these real-world results to build a secure migration plan focused on system stability. We documented every finding so company leaders could make a clear, fact-based decision backed by technical evidence instead of guesswork.
Pythian set up Google AlloyDB and carefully adjusted its settings to match the original database for a fair speed comparison. We then fine-tuned the internal system settings and cleanup processes to maximize performance. These steps kept the new environment highly cost-effective after launch, and we handed over full documentation to empower the internal team.
Pythian prepared the Google AlloyDB infrastructure and successfully migrated all live production data over from the AWS environment. We continuously monitored both systems under heavy traffic conditions to ensure no data was lost. This hands-on approach kept system downtime to an absolute minimum during the migration to Google Cloud. The final result was a stable, fully managed database platform ready to handle heavy enterprise workloads.
Pythian provides end-to-end Google Cloud consulting and database migration services that transform legacy infrastructure into secure, automated, and cost-optimized environments. Our certified cloud architects specialize in seamless migrations to fully managed services like Google AlloyDB, ensuring high availability and zero data loss for enterprise workloads. By handling complex infrastructure modernizations, we allow your internal engineering teams to focus entirely on software innovation and faster feature deployment.
