Seamless cloud transformation for Bobble AI with GCP migration

Bobble AI wanted to improve the performance of their smart keyboard app by reducing latency and optimizing infrastructure costs. They aimed to adopt a scalable cloud platform with advanced features to support this innovative solution. NTT DATA proposed migrating Bobble AI’s back-end applications and services to Google Cloud, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal latency and no business disruption. Leveraging its expertise in Google Cloud Platform’s (GCP’s) storage and database solutions, NTT DATA aimed to reduce overall costs while delivering a secure migration with near-zero downtime for data and services.

Improving the performance of a smart keyboard app

Before migrating to Google Cloud, Bobble AI faced the following challenges:

• Rising costs associated with the existing cloud environment strained operational budgets.
• Scalability limitations restricted their ability to meet growing user demands effectively.
• Increased latency impacted the overall customer experience, leading to potential user dissatisfaction.
• A more efficient and flexible cloud infrastructure became critical to support their expanding platform.

Migrating back-end applications and services to Google Cloud

NTT DATA partnered with Bobble AI to successfully migrate their back-end applications to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), creating a more scalable and robust infrastructure for the Bobble AI Keyboard. The team ensured a smooth transition by setting up staging and production environments tailored to Bobble AI’s needs, using configuration details provided by their team. This migration improved performance, reduced costs and enabled advanced features to better serve their growing user base.

Key components of the solution included optimized routing through a global load balancer and enhanced security with Cloud Armor (Google's managed web firewall). Content delivery was sped up using Google Cloud’s CDN for faster load times, while data management and CI/CD processes were streamlined for better efficiency. In addition, proactive monitoring with real-time alerts and centralized log collection through Google Cloud Logging improved visibility and enabled faster issue resolution.
