SaaS Metrics
Moved to G7Cloud App Hosting with predictable flat-rate pricing and automated CI/CD.
Key Metrics
The Challenge
SaaS Metrics built their B2B analytics dashboard using Next.js and initially deployed on Vercel. As their user base grew, they fell into the 'serverless pricing trap'. Their monthly bill skyrocketed from $100 to over $3,000 due to charges for serverless function executions, image optimizations, and bandwidth overages.
Additionally, their heavy reliance on remote databases caused noticeable latency in their API routes, leading to sluggish dashboard performance for their enterprise clients. They needed a more sustainable, performant hosting model.
The G7Cloud Solution
We migrated their Next.js application to G7Cloud's container-based App Hosting. By moving away from serverless functions to a persistent Node.js container, we eliminated cold starts entirely. We also provisioned a local PostgreSQL database within the same private network, drastically reducing query latency.
We set up automated Git-push deployments that mirror their previous workflow, ensuring their developer experience remained frictionless. All of this was provided at a predictable, flat monthly rate.
"Moving off serverless was the best infrastructure decision we've made. We have better performance, zero cold starts, and a hosting bill that doesn't give me a heart attack at the end of every month. The G7Cloud team made the transition incredibly smooth."
The Results
Eliminated usage-based billing anxiety with a predictable flat rate.
Persistent containers mean instant responses for every API route.
Local database access significantly sped up dashboard rendering.
Dedicated build pipelines reduced deployment times.
