What Are Cloud Development & Migration Services?
Moving a server to a cloud provider is infrastructure management. Cloud migration services go considerably further - assessing your existing workloads, designing the target architecture, re-architecting applications to take genuine advantage of cloud-native capability, and migrating data and systems in a sequence that minimises disruption to live operations.
That's what separates a genuine cloud migration strategy from a lift-and-shift. A lift-and-shift moves an application to cloud infrastructure while leaving its underlying architecture unchanged - the same technical debt, the same performance limitations, now running on infrastructure billed by the hour. Cloud development solutions built for enterprise scale start from the application's actual requirements and redesign the architecture around cloud-native services - autoscaling, managed databases, serverless compute, and distributed resilience - so the application performs and costs differently on cloud infrastructure than it did on-premises.
It's built to make cloud infrastructure work considerably harder for your business - turning a migration from a cost centre into a platform for cloud-based web development services, new capability, and operational resilience that legacy infrastructure was unable to support.
