Cloud Architecture & Migration

Get to the cloud.
The right way.

Greenfield deployments designed right the first time, and migrations from on-prem or legacy accounts to well-architected AWS, GCP, or Azure — with zero-downtime cutover plans and rollback paths for every step.

Migration Challenges We Solve

😰 Downtime Fear

"We can't afford any downtime" — so migration never happens. Meanwhile, the old infrastructure gets more fragile.

🔄 Lift-and-Shift Regret

Moved to cloud but just running the same architecture. Paying cloud prices without cloud benefits.

💰 Cost Surprises

Cloud bill 3x higher than expected. Data transfer, NAT gateways, oversized instances — nobody planned for this.

🗄️ Data Migration

Terabytes of data to move. How do you migrate without losing data or taking down the app for hours?

Cloud Migration Services

Migration Assessment

Understand what you have, what needs to move, and the best path forward. Application portfolio analysis and cloud readiness.

  • Application inventory
  • Dependency mapping
  • Cloud readiness assessment
  • TCO analysis

Greenfield Cloud Architecture

New cloud environments designed right from the start. IaC, CI/CD, security, and monitoring from day one.

  • Landing zone setup
  • Multi-account strategy
  • Network architecture
  • Security baseline

Lift-and-Shift Migration

Move fast when replatforming isn't needed. Minimal changes, maximum speed, optimize later.

  • VM migration (AWS SMS, Azure Migrate)
  • Database migration (DMS, DTS)
  • Storage migration
  • DNS cutover planning

Replatforming

Modernize as you migrate. Move to managed services, containerize workloads, adopt cloud-native patterns.

  • Containerization
  • Managed database migration
  • Serverless adoption
  • Cloud-native refactoring

Data Migration

Move terabytes without data loss or extended downtime. Replication, validation, and cutover automation.

  • AWS DMS / GCP DTS
  • Change data capture (CDC)
  • Data validation
  • Cutover orchestration

Multi-Cloud & Hybrid

Not all-in on one cloud? We design architectures that span multiple clouds or connect to on-prem.

  • Multi-cloud networking
  • Hybrid connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect)
  • Consistent tooling across clouds
  • Data residency compliance

Migration Results

11 min

Zero-downtime cutover

Migrated a fintech from on-prem VMs to GKE. Fully rehearsed cutover window of 11 minutes. Users didn't notice.

5 TB

Database migrated with zero data loss

Moved a 5TB PostgreSQL database to RDS using AWS DMS with CDC. Zero data loss, 8 minutes of read-only during final cutover.

Post-migration cost vs on-prem

E-commerce platform migrated to AWS. Proper architecture (not just lift-and-shift) resulted in 35% lower TCO than on-prem.

Cloud Migration FAQ

How long does a typical migration take?

Simple lift-and-shift: 2-4 weeks. Replatforming with containerization: 4-12 weeks. Large enterprise migrations: 3-12 months. We scope precisely based on your inventory and complexity.

Can you really migrate with zero downtime?

For most applications, yes. We use blue-green deployments, database replication, and traffic shifting. Some components (like databases during final sync) may need brief read-only windows. We design to minimize and communicate any required windows.

Lift-and-shift or replatform?

Depends on your goals. Lift-and-shift is faster and lower risk — good when you need to exit a datacenter quickly. Replatforming captures more cloud benefits but takes longer. We often recommend: lift first, optimize later.

What about compliance during migration?

We maintain compliance throughout. Data encryption in transit and at rest, audit trails for all changes, proper IAM controls. For regulated industries, we ensure the cloud architecture meets requirements before migration begins.
