Google Cloud Supports Building Global Kakao Webtoon Service Environment
Google Cloud announced on the 19th that Kakao Entertainment plans to migrate the entire global service operation environment of Kakao Webtoon to Google Cloud and expand cooperation between the two companies across various business sectors.
Kakao Entertainment signed a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud in November last year and has continued to collaborate to ensure a successful migration and expand the adoption of the Google Cloud Platform. As the first achievement, the entire global service environment of Kakao Webtoon was migrated to Google Cloud in the first half of this year.
Despite various variables across multiple countries and regions, Kakao Entertainment, which had been operating Kakao Webtoon services stably, focused on Google Cloud's outstanding efficiency and scalability. During the migration to Google Cloud, Kakao Entertainment experienced significant cost savings from the initial pilot project stage and was able to migrate with minimal changes to the architecture of existing workloads.
Throughout the entire migration process, Google Cloud provided basic GCP training as well as in-depth technical sessions to Kakao Entertainment developers and engineers, supporting the smooth migration of large-scale workloads in the Southeast Asia (ASEAN) region and the Korea region.
Kakao Entertainment is recently considering the adoption of Google Cloud's data and AI solutions to strengthen personalized service capabilities such as search and recommendation features, which are gaining attention in the media and entertainment industry. In addition, they are discussing cooperation plans with Google Cloud across various business sectors.
