The Challenge
Good Growth needed to reduce costs for a global enterprise project involving heavy Google Maps API usage. They also wanted to optimize their existing Google Cloud solutions, reduce maintenance overhead, and improve their GKE expertise while maintaining agility as they scaled rapidly.
The Solution
DoiT provided bulk discounts, expert Google Cloud guidance, and the Cloud Management Platform. The team helped optimize GKE configurations, recommended pod disruption budgets, assisted with migration to fully-managed services like Cloud Run, and provided transparent cost attribution across customers.
Results
- Achieved 18% cost reduction on Google Maps API project through bulk discounts
- Reduced troubleshooting time from days to hours with expert DoiT support
- Implemented zero-downtime operations through better infrastructure management
- Gained transparent cost attribution across customers and vendors
The DoiT team helped us develop our GKE expertise and now, rather than spending days trying to dig through the documentation to find what's gone wrong, we speak to DoiT and within a couple of hours we have found the reason and the solution.
Nathan Burrill, Lead DevOps Engineer
Meeting the Challenge
Good Growth's customers are primarily global enterprises that have been burned by past digital transformation experiences. The company creates bespoke plans for each customer, allowing them to take small steps towards commercial outcomes while decoupling technical and commercial agendas. When working on a project for a global enterprise involving heavy Google Maps API usage, costs became a significant concern, leading their Google Cloud account manager to recommend partnering with DoiT for bulk discounts.
Seamless Onboarding and Immediate Benefits
The DoiT onboarding process was simple and seamless. Before signing the contract, DoiT was already providing preemptive support and sharing knowledge. The team switched the Maps API project billing to DoiT and saw immediate results with an 18% cost reduction. DoiT's billing system also enabled easy cost attribution across different customers, something difficult to achieve directly in Google Cloud.
Optimizing Google Cloud Infrastructure
DoiT helped Good Growth optimize their existing Google Kubernetes Engine implementation. The team provided expert guidance on pod disruption budgets, ensuring GKE maintains specified pod availability during maintenance operations. This ten-minute implementation solved a significant operational issue. DoiT also guided the migration to fully-managed services like Cloud Run and MongoDB Atlas for zero-downtime operations.
Enhanced Support and Operational Excellence
Unlike their previous support provider who offered quick fixes, DoiT provides comprehensive solutions that address root causes. Response times improved dramatically, and even when escalation to Google Cloud is needed, DoiT's relationship ensures faster resolution. The partnership eliminates time spent on dummy runs, as Good Growth can discuss infrastructure choices with DoiT's experienced engineers before implementation.
Transparent Cloud Management
Good Growth adopted the DoiT Cloud Management Platform to manage and analyze cloud spend as more processes moved to the cloud. The platform provides transparency into spending across customers and vendors, enabling accurate cost attribution. This visibility helps Good Growth make informed decisions about infrastructure investments and pass cost savings directly to their customers.
Scaling with Confidence
As Good Growth grows rapidly, the DoiT partnership ensures their infrastructure can scale without worry. The company can concentrate on customers while maintaining the agility crucial for startups and scale-ups. Benefits from the DoiT partnership, including cost savings and improved platform resilience, are passed directly to Good Growth's customers, supporting their mission to change how businesses pursue digital transformation.

What they say
What I really like about DoiT's approach is that you're very hands-on and proactive. Satyam would ping me a few times a sprint, letting me know about the most current features, checking in on how things are going. When we are going through a peak time, that proactiveness makes a real difference. Satyam always comes through whenever we need support and helps us leverage the right experts to get us where we need to be.
Chiamaka Ibeme, Engineering Manager, Platform
SELECT has made important cost data readily accessible. I will often pull it up during engineering design reviews so we can quickly evaluate cost impact and projections and factor that into our design decisions.
Douglas Zickuhr, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Personio
I love clicking through SELECT to understand how our environment and workloads are evolving. I probably check it every day. It's coffee and SELECT for me every morning.
Ian Fahey, Senior Analytics Engineer at Loop
You guys have the best UI experience that I've had of any software. It's like you just read my mind where, like, oh, I wish I could click there. Oh, I can
Diana Koshy, Sr. Director of Data Engineering at Kargo
SELECT feels like exactly what Paul and I would have built if we had locked ourselves in a room for 18 months to create our ideal monitoring solution.
Devin McGee, Data Engineering Lead at Home Chef
SELECT dramatically lowers the cognitive load to understanding Snowflake costs. I'm able to sit there and easily understand what's driving the cost. Not to blow smoke up your ass, but it's just so easy to do in your platform
Blake Baggett, Head of Data Operations at Entain
One of the most helpful cost rituals we've setup from SELECT is the weekly spend digest sent to Slack. I can start high level and ensure things are in check. If not, I can very quickly drill down into specific workloads which may have driven the cost spike and remediate them before they become a bigger issue.
Michael Revelo, Manager of data and analytics engineering at ClickUp
Through SELECT's automated savings feature and deep cost visibility, we were able to instantly lower our Snowflake spend by over 40% and achieve a 20X ROI on our SELECT investment.
Skyler Chi, SVP, GTM Productivity & Excellence at Exiger
Our costs had jumped up 3X as we scaled, so we're talking about 60% savings in Snowflake spend after adopting SELECT.
Edward Mancey, GTM Lead at Synthesia
DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.
Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly
DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.
Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail
When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.
Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta
DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.
