Rightmove sets up home with Google Cloud

Rightmove’s mission is simple: make home moving easier. In 2020, its app and website saw over two billion visits from people looking to find the right property for them. In fact, the online property titan has had a bumper year, with over 100 of the company’s busiest ever days for visits all happening in the last 12 months.

Having led the charge in transforming the UK property market for both home-hunters and estate agents since 2000, Rightmove is no stranger to innovation. Its mature multi-site data centre infrastructure and CI/CD tooling has served it well. However, to meet increasing demand for its services and continue its market-leading innovation, it needed to take its technology platform to the next level. This meant finding a solution that would enable more agility and velocity for the product and platform teams, in a highly efficient way, all while delivering on its sustainability goals.

And so, boxes (theoretically, of course) were packed and the moving van was on the way to a new life with Google Cloud.
