Migrate cleanly. Land production-grade.
You've outgrown DigitalOcean, Heroku, or the bare metal you started on. The next phase needs the maturity, services, and compliance posture of a hyperscaler — but you can't afford a six-month freeze. We migrate you onto AWS, Azure, or GCP without stalling the product.
A new home on a mature cloud, with IaC, observability, and cost guardrails wired in from day one — not bolted on at year two.
The problem
The cloud that got you to Series A is the one blocking your Series B customer.
DigitalOcean, Heroku, Render, Hetzner, and the bare metal in a colo — they're brilliant places to start. Cheap, fast, no learning curve. But there's a ceiling, and you can feel when you've hit it: no real IAM, no private networking worth the name, no proper infrastructure-as-code story, support tickets that take days, and a regional footprint that doesn't reach where your next ten customers want to be hosted.
Migrating to AWS, Azure, or GCP is the obvious answer and the terrifying one. The horror stories are well known: six months of stalled product work, a cloud bill that doubles overnight, a 'lift and shift' that just moves the mess to a more expensive room. Most teams put it off until a customer or a board meeting forces the issue, and then they're doing it under time pressure with no plan.
Signals you'll recognise
- An enterprise prospect asks which AWS region you run in. You don't.
- Compliance asks for VPC isolation, KMS-managed keys, and audit-grade logs. You can't produce them.
- Your infra is one engineer's mental model and a folder of shell scripts.
- Cost is climbing and no one can tell you why — or what to do about it.
Our approach
Lift-and-reshape, not lift-and-shift. Land it properly the first time.
We build the new cloud foundation before any workload moves: network topology, identity, secrets, IaC, CI/CD, observability, cost controls. The landing zone is solid before the planes start landing — so each workload arrives into a place that's ready for it, not a half-built copy of the old environment.
Workloads then migrate one at a time, each behind a rehearsed cutover plan: parity-tested in staging, run blue-green or canary in production, validated against real traffic, then the old version is decommissioned. There's a dual-run window where both clouds are live, so rollback is a config change, not an emergency.
You end up with a platform you could have built yourself if you'd had the time and the scar tissue — documented, codified, and ready to extend. Not a snowflake. Not a rewrite. A clean foundation.
What you get
Concrete, shippable, owned by your team.
Target architecture you'd actually build
Right-sized AWS / Azure / GCP architecture: network, identity, data, compute, secrets. Documented, peer-reviewed, future-proof.
Everything as code
Terraform or Pulumi for the platform. Reproducible environments. No more click-ops, no more snowflake servers.
CI/CD that works on the new cloud
Pipelines ported and improved. Blue-green or canary cutover for each workload, so you migrate without a downtime weekend.
Observability on day one
Logs, metrics, traces, and alerting live the moment a workload moves. You see the new platform's behaviour in real time, not in retrospect.
Cost guardrails
Budgets, anomaly alerts, right-sizing, and reserved-capacity strategy. We stop the classic 'cloud bill doubled in month two' story.
Security baseline
Identity, MFA, encryption, network segmentation, and audit logging set up to the standard your future SOC 2 or ISO audit will expect.
How we do it
No theatre. Just the work.
Discover and design
Inventory of what's running today, dependency map, target architecture, and a workload-by-workload migration plan with risk and effort.
Land the platform
We build the new cloud foundation — network, identity, IaC, CI/CD, observability — before a single workload moves. The runway is solid before the planes land.
Migrate, workload by workload
Each workload moves behind a cutover plan: rehearse in staging, run blue-green or canary in production, validate, then decommission the old.
Cut over and tune
Once the last workload moves, we tune for cost and performance, decommission the old platform, and hand you a fully documented operating model.
After we migrate
Level up: the DevOps Pathway
A clean cloud is the foundation. The DevOps Pathway is how you turn it into a self-service platform that compounds throughput across every team.
