Our Migration Process
A battle-tested six-phase methodology refined over 50+ enterprise migrations.
Discovery & Assessment
Duration: 1–2 weeks
We start by understanding your current architecture, team structure, deployment processes, and business objectives. We audit your codebase, identify service boundaries, map dependencies, and assess technical debt. The output is a comprehensive migration readiness report with risk analysis and recommended approach.
Architecture Design
Duration: 2–3 weeks
Using domain-driven design principles, we design your target microservices architecture. This includes service decomposition, API contracts, data ownership models, event flows, and infrastructure topology. Every decision is documented in Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Dev Environment Setup
Duration: 1 week
Before writing a single line of migration code, we set up local Kubernetes development environments for your team. Hot-reload, debugging tools, and production parity — so developers can iterate rapidly with confidence.
Migration Execution
Duration: 4–8 weeks
We execute the migration in incremental phases using the Strangler Fig pattern. Services are extracted one at a time, tested in isolation, and deployed behind feature flags. The monolith gradually shrinks as microservices take over functionality.
Testing & Validation
Duration: 2–3 weeks
Comprehensive testing at every level: unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, chaos engineering, and load testing. We validate that the new architecture meets or exceeds the performance, reliability, and security benchmarks of the original system.
Handoff & Managed Support
Duration: Ongoing
We conduct knowledge transfer sessions, provide runbooks for every service, and train your team on day-2 operations. Optionally, we continue with managed Kubernetes support — monitoring, scaling, patching, and 24/7 incident response.
