In case you missed it in September: $100k for startups on Cloud Platform, new features, new tips, and new success stories
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
As students headed back to school, we were busy launching new features and programs. Here’s what we were up to in September:
$100,000 for startups on Cloud Platform
At the Google for Entrepreneurs Global Partner Summit, we announced
Google Cloud Platform for Startups
, a program to help early-stage companies get off the ground and into the cloud. Armed with $100,000 in Cloud Platform credit, 24/7 support and access to our technical solutions team, startups on Cloud Platform can now launch and scale faster than ever. Find out more info about it

.
New features to make your Cloud Platform experience even better
We’re always looking for ways to improve Cloud Platform. This month, we unveiled
HTTP load balancing
to all users around the world, released our Cloud Platform-specific Node.js client library
gcloud-node
, added Google Cloud SQL
read replicas
for MySQL 5.5, and expanded Push-to-Deploy’s support to
Bitbucket Git repositories
. Phew, that’s a lot.
VendAsta pulls back the curtain
Our friends at VendAsta help companies manage their brands by figuring out what’s shaping their online reputation and thinking up ways to improve it. They started building on
Google App Engine
from day one and were able to focus on product development instead of other issues like server redundancy, data replication, peering relationships, power backup, cooling systems, application scaling, and data backups. Now they monitor and analyze mentions of more than 200,000 businesses. Read up on how they did it
here
.
Sony shed light on how they broke a YouTube record with App Engine
On November 23rd, 2013, Sony held a 7-hour livestream for boyband One Direction, which broke the record for the biggest livestream ever held on YouTube. In September, we published a
case study
on the App Engine app that Sony built to play alongside the live stream. At its peak, the app performed 9,000 queries per second!
Customer video series kicks off
During Google I/O this year, we met with customers to hear how they’ve achieved greatness with Cloud Platform. In an effort to share these stories, we’ve kicked off a video series featuring customers who use Cloud Platform in a variety of ways. Hear from
BetterCloud, Streak, and SMART
on how they were able to hit the market running, and learn how Audi uses Cloud Platform as part of their connected car initiatives.
Registrations are rollling in
Over 6000 people have signed up to attend Google Cloud Platform Live - either via Livestream or in-person in San Francisco. We still have a few spots left, so visit
cloud.google.com/LIVE
to join us on November 4.
