Cloud Migration
We executed a full-scale cloud migration of a production-grade system—from GitLab and DigitalOcean to Azure—rebuilding CI/CD, infrastructure, and service integrations for long-term scalability.
01 The Challenge
A production system running on DigitalOcean with GitLab CI had outgrown its infrastructure. Scaling was painful, costs were high, and the team lacked the observability and disaster recovery capabilities required for enterprise-level SLAs.
02 Our Solution
We planned and executed a zero-downtime migration to Azure: infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, containerized workloads on AKS, Azure DevOps pipelines replacing GitLab CI, Azure Monitor for observability, and geo-redundant storage for disaster recovery. The migration was done in phases to eliminate risk.
03 Tech Stack
04 Results
Infrastructure cost reduced by 30%. Deployment frequency increased from weekly to daily. Mean time to recovery (MTTR) improved from 4 hours to 15 minutes. The system now handles 3× the previous peak load with auto-scaling.
