Cloud Migration & Architecture

Cloud migration services cover the full journey: a discovery and assessment phase to map dependencies and risks, a migration strategy selecting lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architecture, phased execution with zero-downtime cutover, post-migration performance validation, and a FinOps kickstart to identify 20–40% spend reduction within 90 days of go-live.

A lift-and-shift migration for a medium-complexity workload takes 8–12 weeks. A re-architecture migration modernising to cloud-native services runs 16–24 weeks. Timeline depends on workload complexity, number of applications, data volume, and compliance requirements. We always migrate in phases so production never goes dark.

We use blue/green deployments, canary releases, traffic shifting with automated rollback triggers, and feature flags for gradual exposure. The cutover strategy is fully designed before a single Terraform file is written, so risk is engineered out rather than managed during the event.

It depends on your workload profile, team expertise, and existing technology investments. AWS leads for breadth of services and global reach. Azure is the natural fit for Microsoft-heavy organisations. GCP is strongest for data and ML workloads. We are certified across all three and advise based on your specific context, not vendor preference.

Lift-and-shift moves existing workloads to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes — it is the fastest path to cloud but you retain your existing architecture and miss cloud-native cost and resilience benefits. Re-architecture modernises applications to use managed services, auto-scaling, and cloud-native patterns. More effort upfront, significantly better outcomes at scale.
