Managing land and resources across different countries is a complex task. Each jurisdiction has its own legislation, creating substantial administrative burdens for global companies. PX4 Software's mission is to solve this problem with the world's only truly multi-jurisdictional land management platform, embedding each nation's specific laws directly into its software. This approach enables companies to operate seamlessly and compliantly, regardless of the location of their projects.

In early 2025, this mission faced its ultimate test. The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources selected PX4 for its first-ever government project: to build a global tender portal from the ground up. The goal was to attract international investment into the country's mining sector, a cornerstone of its Vision 2030 plan. PX4 had just four months to design, build, and launch the entire system.

The data sovereignty requirement narrowed PX4's choice to a handful of cloud providers with a local data center in Saudi Arabia. Among the contenders, Google Cloud stood out. PX4's Head of Development had more than a decade of experience with the platform, valuing its superior containerization, powered by Google Kubernetes Engine, and its consistently responsive support model. This deep in-house expertise meant the team could bypass the time-consuming process of vetting an implementation partner, a critical advantage on a four-month deadline.

The team designed a serverless architecture centered on Cloud Run, enabling them to focus entirely on their application code instead of managing infrastructure. This serverless approach creates true system elasticity. The platform automatically scales to accommodate hundreds of users during peak bidding periods. It also shrinks when demand is low, ensuring both high performance and cost efficiency.

Since going live, the PX4 platform has seamlessly scaled to handle peak bidding rounds with surges of more than 5,000 transactions per hour, many placed in the final seconds of a tender. For international investors, the experience is fast and reliable, with page load times reduced by over 60%. For ministry administrators, the integrated logging and metrics in Cloud Run provide a real-time view of system health, cutting the time spent on manual monitoring by 40%. Since its launch, the platform has maintained zero recorded downtime.

Within two months, the number of companies using the portal more than doubled, and the system scaled effortlessly to support a threefold increase in active users. The platform's success has strengthened the relationship between PX4 and the Saudi government, validating the decision to build on Google Cloud.
