Legacy to cloud migration
Cloud migration isn’t about cheaper hosting. It’s about using the cloud’s powerful capabilities to reduce operational costs and get other tangible business benefits.
Raise application scalability
Use auto-scaling, load balancing, horizontal scaling, CDNs, and other best practices.
Cut development cost by 20-40%
Benefit from readymade services, cost-effective scaling, and easier maintenance.
Improve performance
Implement automated load balancing, elastic computing, CDNs to serve more users fast.
Increase the speed of innovation
Deploy applications faster without having to worry about the infrastructure state.
Discovery & Assessment
Before any cloud workload is moved, we conduct a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure, applications, data dependencies, and performance baselines. This phase ensures you only migrate workloads that are suitable for the cloud and helps avoid surprises later.
You get: Application inventory and dependency maps, cloud readiness scoring, initial cost estimate, and risk profile.
Duration: 1–3 Weeks
Cloud migration strategy
We develop a detailed cloud migration strategy and roadmap, including prioritization, chosen migration methods (e.g., lift-and-shift, replatforming, refactoring), security planning, and compliance requirements.
You get: Migration blueprint, target architecture, migration sequencing plan, estimated timelines.
Duration: 2–6 Weeks
Proof of Concept, Landing Zone Setup
Before large-scale execution, we validate your approach with a pilot. We also set up the cloud landing zone, a secure, automated environment tailored to your organization’s policies (networking, IAM, monitoring, logging). This phase minimizes downtime and shows early results to stakeholders.
You get: Performance and tooling validation, compliance guardrails, risk mitigation.
Duration: 1–4 Weeks
Migration Execution
This phase covers the actual transfer of selected workloads into the cloud. We emphasize phased execution. Our engineers migrate groups of workloads in controlled “waves”, reducing business disruption and fostering iterative optimization.
You get: Data and application migration, database sync & replication, cutover plan, functional and performance testing reports, rollback & contingency setups.
Duration: 4–16 Weeks
Testing, Validation & Cutover
Once workloads are migrated, comprehensive testing ensures performance, security, and compliance meet your expectations. Only after successful validation do we switch operational traffic to the cloud environment.
You get: Cloud environment integrity, performance benchmarking, security and access validation, rollback triggers.
Duration: 2–6 Weeks
Post-Migration Support
After go-live, the cloud migration journey enters optimization for cost-efficiency, resilience, and ongoing innovation. This phase is continuous and ongoing long after the initial migration project closes.
You get: Resource right-sizing, performance tuning, autoscaling, security monitoring, cost observability and alerts, operational handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are cloud migration services?
Cloud migration services help businesses move workloads, applications, and data from on-premise systems to public, private, or hybrid cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) with minimal business disruption.
- Why should my business migrate to the cloud?
Cloud migration delivers improved scalability, performance, and resilience. It enables cost optimization through pay-as-you-go models, accelerates innovation with agile deployments, and enhances security with modern cloud controls.
- How long does it take to migrate to the cloud?
You can have a simple app with a couple of services you can migrate in half a day. In case of massive systems, the cloud migration engineering services might take up to 18 months. You can get a more detailed cloud migration timeline by talking to our experts.
- How much does cloud migration cost?
Cloud migration costs hinge on the project specifics. It’s important to perform an application assessment for cloud migration to accurately estimate the project duration. You can then multiply it by the specialist’s rates with the average cloud engineer in the US earning $79 per hour, according to Glassdoor.
- How do you handle cloud migration security?
Our cloud engineers always follow the best security practices of cloud service providers. Depending on the client’s needs, we can use private networks, VPN IPsec tunnels, separate sub-accounts for environments, Single Sign-On (SSO), relevant security groups, and Security as Code tools like Snyk and SonarQube.
- What are the types of migration in cloud computing?
There are five approaches to cloud migration (also called “5Rs”):
- Rehosting involves lifting the app to a cloud server without any changes.
- Refactoring optimizes the software for the cloud before a legacy to cloud migration.
- Revising means tweaking the application architecture to fully benefit from the cloud.
- Rebuilding involves rewriting the app’s code to build upon the Revise approach.
- Replacing discards the company’s app to use pre-built software from a third-party vendor.
- Which is a good company for cloud migration?
As one of the top cloud migration service providers, MindK has over 170 success stories. Since 2009, we’ve seen all sorts of projects – tiny apps and massive enterprise systems; monoliths and microservices; cutting-edge tech stacks and PHP backends. Over time, most of our clients choose to adopt DevOps best practices and migrate to a service-oriented architecture. Helping them gave us deep expertise in AWS, Azure, and GCP on premise to cloud migration.
- What cloud providers do you support?
We specialize in cloud migrations to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Hetzner, and Google Cloud Platform, including hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
