Application migration services we offer

Our competencies stretch far beyond cloud migration managed services. Check out our standalone options or all-in-one application migration service package that includes everything you need for a frictionless application revamp.

Cloud migration services (on-prem → cloud, AWS → Azure, GCP, etc.)

Cloud is everywhere and it’s only natural you’re considering cloud adoption. Let’s find the most feasible application areas of cloud for your business together.

Monolith → cloud → microservices

Application migration services aren't about cloud migration alone. Migrate to microservices to benefit more from microservices-friendly cloud infrastructure.

Monolith → cloud

Monolith to cloud migration service is a sure way to success for small to middle-sized projects. If you’re not planning a vigorous growth, why pay extra for decoupling into microservices?

Migration to a higher software version

Migrate easily with our ample pool of experts: .NET → .Net Core migration, Angular 1+ → latest release, React → latest release, and more. Contact us for more on our software upgrade services.

All-in-one migration (microservices, software version upgrade, cloud)

One-stop shop for an all encompassing application migration. Jump to microservices written on a new tech stack running smoothly in the cloud. Make the best use of purpose-built databases. Add Cloud DevOps on top of it to be able to pack each new microservice in a container and run and scale it the way you need it, whenever you need it. Enjoy the synergy of technologies.

Cloud migration

We combine all 7R in our cloud application migration services to deliver the best results for you. Depending on your needs, some of your assets would be simply relocated, while others may require a bit of refactoring or replatforming.

REHOST

Cloud options nowadays exist almost for any IT service you use. Thus, you can lift and shift your Oracle DB to Azure, Google cloud or AWS.

RELOCATE

Migrate your app qualifying for relocate as is. Relocate means no changes for your app except for the slight infrastructural ones (VMs → VMware Cloud).

REPLATFORM

Planning to take more advantages of cloud migration than simply new infrastructure? Go for replatform and add some cloud services for better results.

REPURCHASE

This cloud migration strategy is for those opting for a SaaS instead of their current legacy solution. Nice choice!

REFACTOR

A rewarding journey for those ready for architectural modifications, cloud services, purpose-built DB and more on their way.

RETIRE OR RETAIN

These are the easiest options to choose, but both require a profound Discovery phase or better – Continuous Discovery throughout your migration endeavor.

Monolith to cloud to microservices migration

Move your monolith app running on physical servers to the cloud. Rebuild it into a microservices-based application in a cloud development cluster. Physical servers turn into cloud VMs. No need to buy a new server with each new service – we’ll virtualize the stuff and scale it dynamically in the cloud.

✓ Why microservices?

Break your monolithic application into smaller pieces and gain more independence to change things the way you want. Migrating to microservices also enables easier data exchange, along with resilience and scalability.

✓ Why cloud?

Microservices love the cloud. As microservices are small, they fit nicely into the network of dynamic nodes scattered around the globe, which cloud vendors gladly provide to businesses on favorable terms.

✓ Why Cloud DevOps?

Devops brings cloud and microservices together. It provides resiliency through a combination of a system administration and development talent which results in a failure-proof system.

These aren’t three separate transformations. Microservices without cloud won’t give you the market benefits you expect – you’ll have to buy, rack and stack a new server each time you start with a new service. Cloud also loves scaling small things – be it 5 or 500. On top of that, cloud without DevOps isn’t half as useful – with Kubernetes one easily puts that microservice in a container straight away and scales it dynamically the moment they need it.

Monolith to cloud migration

Increasing cloud adoption has somehow forced the good old monolith out of the software development scene. The great news is monolith is back into play, as strong as ever, and ready for the cloud.

Lower costs

If you’re not planning a rapid user base growth (x 5-10 times/year) in the nearest future, migrating monolith to microservices is unjustified expenditure.

Easy maintenance

In contrast to microservices, a monolithic application is relatively simple to maintain for years (if not decades, in some cases). Stay solid, decouple when the need arrives.

Lower qualifications

Microservices are far more complex to implement and thus require higher engineering qualifications. This translates into higher software development bills for you.

Cloud-friendly

Pay as you go, fast deployment in K8s and other cloud benefits (hot reload, zero downtown, failover protection) are as available for the monolith as they are for microservices.

No overhead

Microservices is primarily an answer to the organizational, not technological issue. Huge projects adopt them naturally, but if yours is a relatively small one (up to 7 engineers), there’s no organizational need in an architectural revamp. Microservices require two teams at least, one of which will consist of top talents managing the infrastructure complexity. If your team calls for no organizational changes, the chances are your problem lies in a technological paradigm, which is always easier to solve than a business or organizational challenge.

Functional decoupling

Even if your monolith is getting harder to manage, it doesn’t mean you should immediately start with costly migration to microservices. Consider functional decoupling, which is detaching one or more functional components from the monolithic system that cause most troubles to your monolithic structure. Functional decoupling is also a way out for out-of-the-box modules that you’d like to implement in your monolithic solution. Options abound, get in touch with our sales team to see how we can apply functional decoupling in your project.

Cloud DevOps

Each project poses its unique challenges. We’ve developed a Cloud DevOps roadmap that helps our teams bring each and every project we undertake to the right track, regardless of the complexity.

Discovery & App map

Our Discovery Team will work with your engineers to build a detailed App map for a frictionless migration. In case your app knowledge is lost, we’ll do a bit of reverse engineering to identify all the migrants and dependencies.

Migration & Optimization

In our experience it's far more feasible to do a bit of optimization and add a few cloud services to get more benefits from cloud migration than simply lift and shift your app. Whenever time permits, let’s see what can work better for you in the cloud.

Monitoring

Once in the cloud, make the best use of the monitoring metrics that cloud vendors provide. Our DevOps engineers reinforce cloud providers’ metrics with their own solutions – in-house or out-of-the-box, to get a bigger picture of the application performance in the cloud.

Seamless migration to new architecture with Cloud DevOps scenarios

Try out our battle-tested migration scenarios, like this one. Leave your monolith running on your physical server, while our DevOps team is getting the cloud infrastructure ready and the development team is creating a shiny microservice-based application in a cloud development cluster. Next we deploy a staging cluster where QAs join the dev talents. The staging area transforms seamlessly into production. Connect with our sales team for more Cloud DevOps scenarios that we can run for you.

Custom DevOps monitoring solutions for your application

Although each cloud vendor provides monitoring metrics for you, oftentimes it doesn’t point to the trouble spot. That’s why our engineers not only use out-of-the-box solutions to expand metrics coverage, but also develop their own monitoring applications. For the clients’ systems that don’t provide system performance metrics, we dive deep into your code and write our own corresponding solutions that allow metrics collection.

What our cloud migration consultants say

Ask yourself a question – why should I change something in the first place?

Decoupling your monolithic app and then migrating microservices to AWS may seem like a great plan. But cloud isn’t a panacea, neither is decoupling into microservices. If your performance isn’t an issue and you’re planning no dramatic expansion, stay monolith. There are still tons of benefits in the cloud to reap, even if your app is slightly bigger than the rest out there.

Solution Architect

A two-hour chat with your in-house DevOps engineer will save us two days of the Discovery work. If this option is unavailable in your situation, we’ll do it in a harder, but no less effective way – comparing the old and the new environment, looking through the log history, etc. to establish reliable DevOps processes in the cloud for you.

We can run a Portfolio assessment for you, after which you’ll get the answers to

which assets will migrate easily

which ones need some refactoring to squeeze into cloud

which should better stay on premises

for which ones time has come to be retired

what is the best cloud migration solution out there for you.

Drop us a line to find about our cloud migration consulting services.

This is a nice question to ask our architects. The reasons why you should migrate may be:

Expected rapid growth of your business (x 5-10 times/year)

Slow/impaired performance of the critical module(-s)

Architectural complexity hampers critical module(-s) performance

If none of these refers to your system, your monolithic application is good to go to the cloud without substantial architectural modifications.

Yes, generally monoliths benefit from the same cloud features as microservices do. There may be slightly more favorable terms for microservice-based applications due to the specifics of cloud resource allocation. However, monoliths enjoy the same pay-as-you-go option while Kubernetes and containerization are available to them, too, which allows fast and flexible development and deployment.

Absolutely yes. No matter if you’re planning to migrate to the cloud or microservices, now or in the foreseeable future, getting to a higher software version as part of a legacy modernization project is always a good idea. Old code poses security threats; higher software versions also allow some cool features that users just love.

Yes. DevOps is a monstrously cool thing even on premises. Clouds multiply its effect due to the immense distributed resource network. Cloud DevOps is all about getting you the right infrastructure and resources whenever you need it.

To answer this question, a cloud migration consultant should put his/her hands on your app to do the health check of your code, see the dependencies and understand the business needs of the potential migration. Our Discovery team does the Application Readiness Assessment for our clients. Regardless of the type of the project they are getting ready for – be it cloud, microservices, monolith or DB migration – we scan through our client’s assets portfolio to provide them with the roadmap matching their unique situation.
