FAQ

What do application migration services include?

Application migration services cover everything involved in moving an application from one environment to another: assessment, migration strategy, cloud architecture design, replatforming an application, testing, and post-migration support.

What is the difference between application migration and application modernization?

Application migration focuses on where your application runs. It’s the process of moving an application from on-prem servers or a legacy data center to a cloud platform like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You keep the application mostly as it is.

Application modernization focuses on what the application is — rewriting parts of it, breaking a monolith into microservices, or replacing legacy frameworks with modern runtimes. Most migration projects include some modernization, since you rarely lift-and-shift without touching anything, but they solve different problems.

How long does an application migration project take?

A focused engagement on a single application or a simple cloud migration typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. Larger projects covering an entire application portfolio, replatforming, or data migration run from 3 to 9 months. Book a call to start with an application portfolio assessment and get a migration roadmap with clear milestones and priorities.

How do you decide which migration strategy fits each application?

We look at four things per app: business value, technical complexity, cost to operate today, and how much the app would gain from cloud-native features.

  • A stable app with low change velocity is usually a rehost.
  • A legacy application with growing scaling needs is a good replatform or refactor candidate.
  • A commodity app that overlaps with a managed cloud service is often a repurchase.
Can you migrate databases alongside applications?

Of course! Database migration is part of most application migration projects. We migrate across engines (Oracle to PostgreSQL, SQL Server to Aurora), between environments (on-prem to RDS, Azure SQL, or Cloud SQL), and between cloud providers when needed. We use schema conversion tools, replication for near-zero downtime cutovers, and validation scripts to confirm data integrity before switching traffic.
