Modernizing and Migrating SaaS Product to Google Cloud

Executive Snapshot

Agrya, a FinTech organization specializing in virtual CFO, accounting hub, and business support services, partnered with Transcloud to modernize and migrate its flagship SaaS product — ActionBoard — from Heroku to Google Cloud. The objective was to enhance performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency through a cloud-native architecture built for evolving business demands.

Through this transformation, Agrya achieved:

• Significantly faster application performance and reduced latency
  
• Seamless scalability through serverless infrastructure
  
• Improved database performance and developer visibility
  
• Optimized cloud costs with managed services
  

The Challenge: Limited Scalability and Visibility

As ActionBoard expanded to serve a diverse and growing customer base, the platform’s legacy Heroku setup began to show limitations in performance and monitoring.

Key Challenges:

• Scalability Constraints: Heroku’s architecture struggled to meet rising compute and database demands, impacting user experience during peak load.
  
• Operational Blind Spots: The lack of centralized logging and monitoring reduced visibility into performance and system health.
  
• Analytics Limitations: Heroku’s restricted support for analytical workloads hindered actionable insight generation.
  
• Cost Inefficiency: Maintaining multiple environments without native autoscaling led to underutilized resources and higher costs.
  

These constraints slowed innovation, increased operational overhead, and limited Agrya’s ability to expand its product features efficiently.

The Solution: Serverless Transformation on Google Cloud

Transcloud executed a comprehensive modernization and migration strategy to re-architect ActionBoard for a fully serverless and scalable future on Google Cloud. The engagement began with the seamless migration of all workloads from Heroku to managed services such as Cloud Run, App Engine, and Cloud SQL, eliminating infrastructure bottlenecks and operational dependencies. The database was modernized by transitioning to Cloud SQL, improving IO throughput and introducing automatic failover for high availability. To ensure consistency and resilience across environments, standardized staging and production setups were implemented with autoscaling and multi-regional deployment capabilities. Continuous delivery pipelines were also established, enabling automated releases, rollback safety, and faster iteration cycles. Finally, Transcloud integrated a unified monitoring framework, providing real-time visibility into performance and system health across all cloud services. This end-to-end modernization empowered Agrya with an agile, high-performing, and future-ready SaaS environment built to evolve with their business needs.

The Results: Performance, Scalability & Cost Efficiency Delivered

The migration to Google Cloud delivered measurable improvements across performance, scalability, and operational efficiency.

Business Impact:

• 5× Faster Response Times: Optimized architecture reduced latency significantly, enhancing the user experience.
  
• 15× Increase in Database Throughput: Improved data access speed for financial reporting and analytics.
  
• 20% Reduction in Cloud Costs: Resource optimization and autoscaling minimized underutilization.
  
• Proactive Operations: Unified monitoring enabled real-time insights and reduced troubleshooting time.
  
• Developer Agility: Automated CI/CD pipelines accelerated release frequency and improved reliability.
  

By embracing a serverless architecture, Agrya transformed ActionBoard into a high-performance, scalable SaaS platform—ready to support growing workloads and business innovation.
