Cloud Platforms and Migration

This hub collects our engineering writing on moving workloads to the cloud and building systems that take advantage of it once they’re there. It covers platform selection, architecture trade-offs, cost management, and the operational changes that come with running production systems on AWS, Azure, or GCP. If you’re weighing a lift-and-shift against a rebuild, or trying to work out whether your team is ready for cloud native architecture, the articles here walk through the decisions in order.

Start with the platform question, since it shapes everything downstream: our comparing AWS Azure and GCP piece breaks down where each provider is strongest. From there, cloud native architecture patterns covers how to structure services once you’ve picked a platform. building a migration roadmap lays out the sequencing most teams get wrong on their first attempt.

Some of these decisions are better made with someone who has done the migration before. We provide cloud application development for teams rebuilding around cloud native patterns. Our cloud development services support teams still working out platform and architecture choices before committing engineering time.

If you’re only reading one article here, start with comparing AWS Azure and GCP, since platform choice determines the constraints every later decision operates under. Read it before deciding between a lift-and-shift and a rebuild, and before scoping how much architectural change your team can realistically absorb this year.
