Summary

G2X, a go-to-market platform for federal contractors, transformed its infrastructure by migrating from a major public cloud provider to Railway, resulting in an 87% cost reduction and a sevenfold increase in deployment speed. Previously, G2X struggled with infrastructure complexity and high costs, spending $15,000 monthly, which hindered innovation and overwhelmed their lean engineering team. The migration to Railway simplified their operations by eliminating complex networking rules and streamlining service deployment, allowing G2X to focus on product development rather than infrastructure challenges. This change enabled G2X to handle 3-5 million daily requests reliably and serve 100,000 monthly active users efficiently, while reducing their infrastructure costs to approximately $1,000 per month. Railway's Git-based deployment model and PR environments facilitated a seamless transition, boosting confidence in their platform's reliability and performance. As a result, G2X is now better equipped to serve the mission-critical needs of federal contractors, with enhanced speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making Railway their primary infrastructure platform moving forward.
