Cloud Migration

Cloud migration is rarely just a lift-and-shift. Done right, it's an opportunity to modernise architecture, reduce operational overhead, improve security posture, and cut infrastructure costs. Done wrong, it creates months of instability. We've done it right, many times, at scale.

Our migration methodology starts with a thorough assessment — what you have, what it costs, what its dependencies are, and what the right target architecture looks like. We then execute in phases, with zero-downtime cutovers where possible, and leave you with Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, and runbooks so your team owns what we build.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Concrete outputs, not just advice

Cloud Readiness Assessment

Inventory of existing infrastructure, dependencies, data flows, and security posture — with a ranked migration backlog and total cost of ownership analysis.

Target Architecture Design

Cloud-native reference architecture tailored to your workloads — microservices, serverless, containerised, or hybrid — with detailed migration sequencing.

Infrastructure-as-Code

Terraform and Pulumi modules for every resource, enabling repeatable, auditable deployments and eliminating environment drift.

CI/CD Pipeline Setup

End-to-end deployment automation with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps — including testing, security scanning, and rollback mechanisms.

Security & Compliance

IAM design, network segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, and compliance controls for SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or GDPR.

Cost Optimisation

Right-sizing, reserved instance planning, spot instance strategies, and tagging frameworks that typically reduce cloud spend by 20–40% post-migration.

USE CASES

Where we've delivered
