Cloud Application Modernization

Cloud Application Modernization

Transform your legacy applications to make them Cloud-ready and take a full advantage of what Cloud has to offer in terms of agility, scalability, and performance.

Transform Your Legacy Applications to Run in Cloud 

Very often organizations feel pressure to move to the Cloud without fully understanding the level of their readiness to operate in a new infrastructure paradigm. It’s true that during migration from the traditional data-center approach to the Cloud, applications need to be tuned up for the new environment and requirements like security and scaling should be taken into account. Such changes need a specific competency which is not often present within traditional development teams. Sometimes it’s due to limited experience with Cloud architectures and frameworks, or lacking the best practices in combining Cloud-native features with traditional container-based on VM-based applications. But a reliable Cloud software development partner can fill this gap.

Cloud offers numerous possibilities in terms of agility, scalability, and performance. But to fully leverage its immense potential and keeping the cost efficiency, oftentimes application modernization services are required first.

Why Cloud Modernization

To manage cost efficiency within continuously changing market environments, businesses need to maintain their agility. It enables you to link your costs to actual service usage, on one hand, and gives an ability to deliver features and fixes extremely fast on another. That’s why application modernization is only one step on your Cloud journey, but a very important one. To be better aligned with the new Cloud environment, you need to customize your applications. Here’s why you need to refactor your application with the following assumptions:

  • Avoid Monolithic, tightly coupled application
  • Dependency on physical resources
  • Avoid stateful programming, stateless is the key for fast scaling
  • Increase scalability and performance
  • Eliminate high cost of licensing, e.g. move from Oracle to AWS RDS Postgres
  • Enhance end-user experience, it could be a good time to refresh your UI/UX
  • Adoption to DevOps best practices with using CI/CD for smooth release and upgrade

Application Modernization with Cloud Migration

We offer the proven application modernization roadmap that includes the following:

Why Cloud Migration

Migrating to the Cloud will help you achieve multiple business results, such as:  

  • Faster time-to-market of the new features in your app.  
  • Improved cost efficiency and flexibility for your business solutions.   
  • Increased rate of innovation, as instead of managing and maintaining the data bases, you may focus on customer value generation.   
  • More reliable application with easier scalability, performance and modern app development practices integrated.
