For many organizations, managing cloud infrastructure efficiently can feel like piecing together a puzzle with a million pieces. Developers often face the pain of complex workflows, fragmented version control, and difficult integrations, all of which slow down the development process. InMobi Advertising, a leading global provider of advertising solutions, wanted to build a platform that would allow their internal infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules, to be used by their developers for deploying quickly and efficiently without any friction .
Enter StackGen. During a recent meeting with InMobi Advertising, our team demonstrated how StackGen, a GCP Partner, integrated with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), can streamline IaC workflows, eliminate developer bottlenecks, and improve the overall infrastructure management experience. Automating these often complex tasks allows teams to focus on what truly matters: Delivering high-quality applications faster.
“Our goal at InMobi Advertising is to continuously seek ways to improve developer productivity and accelerate time to market by easing the challenges around application deployment across different cloud providers," says Mohit Saxena, Co-Founder and Group CTO at InMobi Advertising. "StackGen helps us create consistent and standardized cloud-agnostic IaC with built-in security, compliance and cost guardrails; this made cloud transformation easy for us and enabled our teams to run our applications across multiple clouds.”
StackGen’s core value proposition holds true across all cloud platforms, including GCP. By facilitating IaC adoption, StackGen helps organizations avoid the complexity typically associated with managing a compliant cloud infrastructure, empowering developers to work with self-service tools that streamline deployment, improve time-to-market, and enhance disaster recovery strategies. Here’s how StackGen benefits customers on GCP:
InMobi Advertising wanted to streamline the use of internal IaC modules. Their challenges were centered around version control, security, and ease of use. StackGen is currently working with the InMobi Advertising team to tackle these challenges in the following ways:
By automating key aspects of InMobi Advertising’s existing workflow, StackGen is currently helping to improve development velocity and simplify IaC implementation. This ongoing process allows InMobi Advertising’s teams to focus more on their core business while infrastructure management continues to be streamlined.
For organizations migrating from another cloud provider to GCP, StackGen offers a streamlined approach to infrastructure-as-code translation, ensuring a smoother transition with minimal disruption. While StackGen’s cloud-to-cloud migration capabilities are designed to facilitate rapid "lift-and-shift" scenarios, it’s particularly effective for moving infrastructure from other platforms to GCP. By automatically converting and managing infrastructure code between clouds, StackGen simplifies the migration process, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
InMobi Advertising’s Azure-to-GCP migration, for instance, is being supplemented by StackGen’s ability to efficiently translate and deploy infrastructure-as-code in the GCP environment. This approach is helping to streamline the process, allowing teams to focus on optimizing their GCP infrastructure after the migration. Whether for faster deployments or more intricate transitions, StackGen is working to ensure organizations can migrate their infrastructure securely and with confidence, while the process continues to evolve..
Through its smooth integration with GCP, StackGen is helping developers manage and deploy applications with ease, while maintaining organizational standards, security, and version control. As seen in the case of InMobi Advertising, StackGen is supporting increased developer productivity, improved operational efficiency, and a better experience working with internal IaC modules. By providing teams with enhanced IaC tools, StackGen and InMobi Advertising are working together to shape the future of cloud infrastructure automation and management, helping businesses scale, secure, and innovate more effectively as the process progresses.
