Making every minute count: How Nimses scales it's mobile platform on Google Cloud
summary
Nimses migrates a 100+ microservice mobile platform to GCP, moving core services into Google Kubernetes Engine in a few weeks after an initial weekend spike of ~3 million signups and a steady user base above 5 million. Most backends run on Datastore with a Datastore cache layer to curb read costs; geospatial queries stay on Postgres, analytics go to BigQuery. A blockchain-style payments ledger runs on Cloud Spanner, where transaction re‑modeling cuts transfer latency by ~3x and nodes scale without downtime.
