It can be a straight lift-and-shift of what already exists, or a rebuild designed around cloud-native services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running your own servers means paying for peak capacity you rarely use and owning every hardware failure yourself. Cloud migration replaces that fixed cost with pay-as-you-go infrastructure that scales with real demand \u2014 but a migration done without a plan just moves the same problems onto a bigger monthly bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dotcode applies it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We plan migrations around what a system actually needs \u2014 scalability, compliance, cost \u2014 instead of moving everything to the cloud as a default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dotcode.pro\/services\/cloud-solutions\/\">Talk to us about our Cloud Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Move apps and infrastructure from on-premises to AWS, GCP, or Azure \u2014 lift-and-shift or cloud-native rebuild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
