Mailchimp needed engineering support, but also thought leadership
After acquiring Chatitive, a complementary product, Mailchimp needed to assess the existing platform, integrate it into their cloud environment, prepare for a drastic increase in users, and speed up the pace of development – all while supporting existing customers and shifting demand.
A full migration from AWS to GCP with zero customer downtime.
True partnership, every step of the way
After a discovery phase, Tensure partnered with Mailchimp engineers to migrate the acquired company’s product (Chatitive) from AWS to Google, leveraging managed services like Cloud SQL, Cloud MemoryStore, and Cloud Storage to speed up the process.
Then, our team containerized all compute-based resources on a GKE Cluster.
A complete solution, a successful migration
The Tensure team completed the migration and reduced the operational burden of supporting the application.
Utilizing GKE, manual workarounds were reduced, and the speed of software delivery increased rapidly. Improved rigor in infrastructure automation and modern DevOps practices allowed for smoother deployment processes. These changes allowed the team to prioritize the delivery of new features.
Benefits:
- Seamless migration from AWS to GCP
- 100% automated deployments for entire codebase, including infrastructure
- Increased application performance by optimizing compute consumption
- Zero customer downtime during migration

Cost Optimization / FinOps
Cost Optimization / FinOps
Cost Optimization—also known as FinOps—integrates financial accountability into the engineering workflow. By embedding cost visibility and controls directly into the platform, organizations can optimize cloud spend, reduce waste, and make informed trade-offs between speed, performance, and cost.
Multi-Cluster & Multi-Cloud Management
Multi-Cluster & Multi-Cloud Management
Multi-Cluster & Multi-Cloud Management allows organizations to operate seamlessly across multiple Kubernetes clusters and cloud providers. Platform engineering abstracts the complexity of distributed environments, ensuring governance, consistency, and control at scale through unified configuration and automation.
Cloud Foundations
Cloud Foundations
Cloud Foundations provide the secure, scalable base upon which all modern applications run. By defining organizational structures, networking, IAM policies, and security baselines, platform engineering ensures every workload operates within a consistent, compliant, and well-governed cloud environment.
