for legacy stacks ready to move.

moving a running business off a legacy stack is the riskiest project most engineering teams do, and the one with the least margin for error. the technical part — provisioning the new infra, replatforming services, cutting traffic — is solvable. the part that breaks projects is the cutover: how customers experience the change, what stays the same, what changes overnight, and how you roll back when something does not behave the way the runbook said it would.

we run migrations as full programmes, not just infra projects. lift-and-shift when the constraint is time. modernize when the constraint is cost-or-architecture. always with the cutover plan, dual-run windows, observability hooks, and a rollback path that has actually been rehearsed before the day arrives.

// what we deliver

the pieces, named.

// 01

discovery + cost model.

two-week mapping of the current stack: services, data, integrations, SLAs, hidden dependencies. forecast cost on the target cloud (AWS or GCP), with reserved-instance and savings-plan modelling so finance gets a real number before any change happens.

// aws · gcp · cost modelling · savings plans

// 02

cutover plan + rollback.

the migration runbook is the deliverable. step-by-step, paste-able commands, dry-run rehearsals, monitoring checkpoints, and the rollback path for each phase. nobody finds out what happens on cutover day for the first time on cutover day.

// runbook · rollback drills · dual-run

// 03

data + integration carryover.

the new stack only works if the data lands clean. replication strategies for postgres, mysql, s3, gcs. integration cutover for whatsapp, razorpay, tally, zoho, internal tools. zero-downtime where the business needs it, planned downtime where it is honestly cheaper.

// postgres · mysql · s3 · gcs · integrations

// 04

observability + finops baseline.

every migration ships with logs, metrics, traces, error tracking, and a finops dashboard wired in from day one. the new system is observable before it is in front of customers — never the other way around.

// why now

the buying signal: legacy stacks accumulate cost and brittleness with every quarter. the businesses moving now are doing it before the next audit, the next compliance ask, or the next price hike on the old hosting bill — not after.
