Cloud Strategy & Economics

Why complex applications make cloud migration risky, and how piecemeal (service-by-service) migration, chaos engineering, and static software-intelligence analysis reduce that risk before and after the move.

Lift-and-shift feels like the safe first move into the cloud, but moving an application unchanged means paying for static resources instead of the cloud's real advantage: dynamic scaling. Why that shortcut can be the most expensive mistake in a migration.

A CEO who compares cloud server pricing directly to on-prem server pricing is only looking at half the ledger. The real financial case for the cloud is dynamic resource allocation and a shift from capital expense to cost of goods sold.

Application migrations rarely deliver benefits in a straight line — there's a painful low point where effort has gone up but nothing feels better yet. A real story of a company that quit at the bottom of that valley, and why sticking it out pays off.
