Google Cloud Development and Hosting for Web and Mobile Apps

We build and host apps on Google Cloud for companies in the US, UK and Europe: Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Cloud SQL and Firebase, with tested deploys, monitoring and a bill you can follow. Everything runs in your own account.

  • Build and deploy Apps on Cloud Run, Compute Engine or GKE.
  • Your data Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage and Firebase.
  • Watch and cost Monitoring, alerts and a bill you can read.

Ratings and how to get started

Google Cloud development

What we build on Google Cloud

The kinds of systems we build and host on Google Cloud, and the work we do on each.

Talk through your cloud setup →
  • Web apps and APIs on Cloud Run

    Your app packed in a container that scales up with traffic and down when it is quiet, with no servers to patch.

  • Apps on Compute Engine

    Virtual machines for software that needs a full server: long-running workers, older apps and custom setups.

  • Firebase back ends for mobile apps

    Sign-in, Firestore, push notifications and hosting for iOS, Android and web apps, set up and secured.

  • Managed databases

    Cloud SQL for MySQL and PostgreSQL with automatic backups, plus Firestore or Memorystore where they fit better.

  • File storage and media

    Uploads, images, exports and backups kept in Cloud Storage and served through Cloud CDN.

  • Data and reports

    Events and exports loaded into BigQuery, so heavy reports do not slow down your app's own database.

What we do

Google Cloud services

From a new app or a move to Google Cloud to the pipeline, monitoring and cost control.

Common cloud problems we fix

  • A monthly bill that grows with no clear reason
  • Servers set up by hand that nobody dares to change
  • Deploys done by copying files to a server
  • Backups nobody has ever tried to restore
  • Service accounts and keys with more access than they need
  • Outages you hear about from customers first
  • New web apps and APIs built to run on Cloud Run, Compute Engine or GKE, with the database, storage and pipeline set up around them.

  • Moving to Google Cloud

    From shared hosting, another cloud or your own servers, one service at a time, with a rollback plan for every step.

  • Cloud Build or GitHub Actions that test, build and deploy each change, so nobody copies files to a server by hand.

  • Sign-in, Firestore, Cloud Messaging and hosting for mobile and web apps, with security rules written and tested.

  • Cost reviews

    Idle machines, oversized databases and unused storage found, then budgets and alerts set so the bill stops surprising you.

  • Uptime and error alerts, updates and fixes after launch, tested in a staging project before they reach live.

Choosing a cloud

Google Cloud, AWS or Azure?

We work with all of them, so we have no reason to push you either way. This is how we help clients choose.

  • Google Cloud fits when

    • You want to run containers without managing servers, on Cloud Run
    • Your mobile app already uses Firebase for sign-in or data
    • You plan to report on large amounts of data in BigQuery
    Ask which fits your app →
  • AWS fits when

    • You need the widest choice of managed services
    • Your team, partners or clients already run on AWS
    • A service or region you need is only offered there
    See our AWS development →
  • Azure fits when

    • Your company already runs on Microsoft 365 and Microsoft sign-in
    • Your apps are built on .NET or SQL Server
    • You have Microsoft licences or credits to use
    See our Azure development →
  • Need something simpler?

    For a small app, a DigitalOcean server or App Platform with a managed database can be simpler to run and cheaper than any of the three large clouds.

    See our DigitalOcean hosting →
  • Need the deploys set up too?

    Whichever cloud you choose, we set up the pipeline, the staging and live environments and the monitoring around your app.

How we work

From first call to a live app on Google Cloud

The same way of working on every project.

Built in from the start

What goes into every Google Cloud setup

The parts that keep a cloud setup safe to change, easy to look after and clear to pay for.

Ask about your setup →
  • Infrastructure as code

    Services, networks and access written in Terraform, so the setup can be rebuilt and every change reviewed.

  • Only the access each part needs

    IAM roles and service accounts scoped to the job, and no shared owner logins.

  • Secrets kept out of the code

    Keys and passwords in Secret Manager, separate for staging and live, never committed to the repo.

  • Backups you have restored

    Automatic Cloud SQL backups and versioned storage, with a restore tested before launch.

  • Logs and alerts

    Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring, with alerts on errors, slow responses and downtime sent to the people who act on them.

  • Budgets and cost labels

    Budgets with alerts and a label on every resource, so the bill shows what each part costs.

Why Provis

Why work with Provis on Google Cloud

What you can check before you hire us.

  • Your account, your code

    Everything runs in your own Google Cloud account and repository, never locked to us.

  • Changes tested on staging

    New features, updates and setup changes go to a staging project before your live one.

  • We fix what others left

    We take over setups other teams built, write down what is there and make it safe to change.

  • One project lead

    A single point of contact, with a written weekly update and a demo of what was built.

  • Honest cloud advice

    We work with Google Cloud, AWS, Azure and DigitalOcean, so we recommend what fits.

  • Hours that overlap yours

    We are on IST: 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of London, 9.5 to 10.5 ahead of New York.

Speed, security and care

Fast, safe and kept up to date

An app in the cloud is only as good as its slowest request, its weakest key and its next update. We look after all three, before launch and after it.

  • Fast under load

    Autoscaling set to your traffic, caching with Cloud CDN and Memorystore, and a region close to your users.

  • Tested updates

    Runtimes, machine images and database versions updated in staging first, then released once the tests pass.

  • Locked down

    Scoped IAM access, secrets in Secret Manager, Cloud Armor in front of public endpoints and audit logs kept.

  • Watched after launch

    Uptime, errors and spend monitored, with fixes, updates and cost reviews once the app is live.

Cost

What does Google Cloud work cost?

Every setup is different, so we quote after a short call, not from a price list. Within two working days you get an approach, a rough timeline and a rough cost range, with an estimate of the monthly Google Cloud bill. No charge, no commitment.

What changes the price

  • Scope

    A new build, a move from other hosting, or an existing setup to fix and tidy.

  • Services

    How many apps, databases, workers and scheduled jobs have to run.

  • Traffic

    How many users, how spiky the traffic is, and how fast it must respond.

  • Migration

    How much data has to move, and how much downtime, if any, you can accept.

  • Environments

    Staging and live, one region or several, and any compliance needs.

  • Aftercare

    Monitoring, updates, fixes and cost reviews once the app is live.

FAQ

Google Cloud development questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

How much does Google Cloud development cost?

It depends on what you need: a new build, a move from other hosting, or a setup to fix, and on how many apps, databases and workers are involved. We do not sell fixed packages. After a short call, we send an approach, a rough timeline and a rough cost range within two working days, with no charge and no commitment.

How much will hosting on Google Cloud cost each month?

Google bills you directly for what you use, so the monthly cost depends on your traffic, the services you run and the region. We estimate it with the plan, set budgets and alerts in your account, and choose services that cost little when your app is quiet, such as Cloud Run.

Should I use Google Cloud, AWS or Azure?

We work with all three, so the answer depends on your app and your team. Google Cloud suits containers on Cloud Run, apps already on Firebase and data work in BigQuery; AWS suits teams that need the widest choice of services or already run there; Azure suits companies built on Microsoft 365 and .NET. For a small app, DigitalOcean can be simpler. We tell you which fits after the first call.

Cloud Run, Compute Engine or GKE: which do we need?

Cloud Run suits most web apps and APIs that can run in a container: it scales on its own and there are no servers to patch. Compute Engine suits software that needs a full server. GKE suits larger systems with many services that need Kubernetes. We start with the simplest option that fits.

Can you move our app to Google Cloud?

Yes. We map what you run, build the new setup in a staging project, move the data and test it, then switch over with a rollback plan. Your current hosting stays live until the switch, and we move one service at a time where that lowers the risk.

Do you work with Firebase?

Yes. Firebase is part of Google Cloud, and we set up sign-in, Firestore, Cloud Messaging and hosting for mobile and web apps, with security rules written and tested. When an app outgrows Firebase alone, parts of it can move to Cloud Run and Cloud SQL in the same account.

Can you reduce our Google Cloud bill?

We review where the money goes: idle or oversized machines, databases bigger than they need to be, old storage and logs, and traffic between regions. Then we fix what is safe to change and set budgets and alerts. We tell you what we found before changing anything.

Who owns the account and the code?

You do. The Google Cloud project sits in your organisation and on your billing account, and the code and setup files go into your own repository. We work with access you grant and can remove at any time.

Do you work with companies outside India?

Yes. Our team is in Jaipur on IST, 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of London and 9.5 to 10.5 ahead of New York. Our UK company, Provis Global Ltd, is registered in the United Kingdom.
