Applications
Web apps, APIs, background workers repackaged for the new environment.
Move to the cloud without the downtime
Migrate from on-prem, Heroku, or a legacy host to AWS, GCP, or Azure with a tested rollback plan, zero data loss, and minimal disruption.

Week migration
you probabaly need cloud migration if...
You're running on aging on-prem servers or a data center you want to leave
Heroku or your current PaaS has gotten too expensive at your scale
You're switching cloud providers AWS to GCP, Azure to AWS, etc.
You need to migrate but can't afford downtime or data loss
Migration isn't always the right first move
Sometimes the smarter play is optimizing where you are. We'll start with an honest audit if a migration won't pay off, our cloud consulting team will tell you straight.
Six things that move during a migration
A migration is never "just the app." We handle every layer that has to move with it.
Databases
Postgres, MySQL, Mongo migrated with replication & zero data loss.
Files & storage
User uploads, media, backups transferred to S3, GCS, or Blob storage.
Networking & DNS
VPCs, load balancers, domains, SSL re-created and cut over carefully.
CI/CD & pipelines
Deployment pipelines rebuilt so your team ships the day after cutover.
Secrets & config
Environment variables, API keys, certs moved into a proper secret manager.
The right strategy per workload
Not everything should move the same way. We pick the strategy that balances speed, cost, and risk for each piece.
01
Rehost ("lift & shift")
Move as-is to the cloud. Fastest path, minimal changes optimize later.
Best for · Speed · Tight deadlines · Legacy apps
02
Replatform ("lift & reshape")
Move with targeted upgrades managed databases, containers, autoscaling.
Best for · Balance of speed & gains · Most clients
03
Refactor ("re-architect")
Rebuild cloud-native serverless, microservices for max scale & savings.
Best for · Long-term value · Scaling products
04
Hybrid & phased
Move in stages some workloads now, some later to de-risk big migrations.
Best for · Large systems · Risk-averse teams
Every migration includes
A documented, tested, reversible migration not a risky weekend cutover.

How we move you without breaking things
Migrations fail when teams rush the cutover. Our four safeguards make it boring which is exactly what you want.
01
Parallel running
Old and new environments run side-by-side until the new one is proven.
02
Live data replication
Your database syncs in real time, so the new environment is always current.
03
Gradual traffic shift
We route 1% → 10% → 50% → 100% of traffic, watching metrics at each step.
04
Instant rollback
If anything looks wrong, we shift traffic back in seconds no harm done.

Every migration is different so is every quote
After a 30-minute discovery call, we send a detailed proposal within 3 business days including assessment summary, recommended strategy, timeline, and a fixed all-in price. Cloud provider costs are paid directly by you, and during parallel-running you'll briefly pay for both environments we keep that overlap as short as safely possible.

Things teams ask before migrating
We design for zero user-facing downtime: parallel environments, live database replication, and gradual traffic shift (1% → 100%). Some cutover steps may need a brief maintenance window for DNS or certificates we call those out upfront and schedule them off-peak.
Every project ships with a tested rollback plan. If metrics slip during cutover, we shift traffic back in seconds. Staging dry-runs and rehearsal cutovers catch most issues before production is touched.
Yes. We inventory what's running, read your codebase and infrastructure config, and document as we go. Original authors speed things up when available, but they aren't required for a safe migration.
Typically one to three weeks while old and new run in parallel. We shorten that overlap as much as safety allows and estimate dual-environment cost in your proposal so there are no surprises.
It depends on timeline and goals. Many teams rehost first to exit a bad host quickly, then refactor high-value workloads in a second phase. Your assessment recommends the right split we won't push a big-bang rewrite when lift-and-shift is the smarter play.
Yes. We architect for encryption, access control, audit logging, and data residency, and work with your compliance team on BAAs, PCI scope, and evidence. Migrations preserve controls we don't treat compliance as an afterthought.
