Read MoreWhat is Cloud Migration?
Cloud migration refers to the process of moving a web application from one platform, hosting environment, or content management system (CMS) to another. The migration may involve moving the entire web app or parts of it, including web pages, content, and data, from one server or domain to another. The reasons for cloud migration may vary, including upgrading to a newer technology, improving web app performance and security, changing hosting providers, or redesigning the web application.
The process of cloud migration typically involves several steps, including planning, preparing, and executing the migration. The planning phase involves assessing the current web application and determining the scope, timeline, and resources required for the migration. The preparation phase involves creating a backup of the existing web app, setting up the new hosting environment, and configuring the new platform or CMS. The execution phase involves transferring the website data, content, and applications to the new environment and testing the web app functionality.
Cloud migration can be a complex process that requires careful planning, execution, and testing to ensure that the web app is migrated successfully without any disruption to the user experience. It is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional web developer or migration specialist to ensure a smooth and successful migration.
Upgrade Your Web App Today
We know that as a chief technical officer, understandably, upgrading the frameworks and libraries which were used to develop your web application can oftentimes be a difficult task — nevermind upgrading or replacing an entire tech stack. Nevertheless, staying on top of your product’s migration is indispensable for a number of reasons:
Redevelopment
Redevelopment will often be more expensive than an upgrade
Outdated solutions
Outdated solutions represent a significant cybersecurity risk for organisations and clients
Software Performance
Suboptimal software performance can have a negative impact on your company's operations
Cloud Migration: How much does it cost?
Cloud Migration
Because failing to adequately carry out a cloud migration could mean the total loss of your traffic and rankings — which is likely to translate into an equally hefty loss of business — it is important to fully grasp what is needed. So in layman’s terms, what is cloud migration in practice? Essentially, this is a process by which software developers can renovate your web application’s performance, structure, platform, content, design and ultimately user experience. Depending on your company’s individual circumstances, the following cloud migration services are widely available:
Cloud Infrastructure Migration
Platform Migration Service
Domain Migration
Web App Transfer Service
Hosting Migration
Complex Migration
The Challenges of Cloud Migration
Many technical leaders will recognise the importance of migration support as well as the need for upgrading their software ecosystems in a timely manner. They may even occasionally ask themselves: “how do I plan a web app migration?”, “how do I prepare a cloud infrastructure for migration?” or how to transfer a cloud infrastructure properly. Nevertheless, after finding out the answers to these questions or even coming up with a feasible game plan — whether dealing with a SaaS migration or any other cloud migration process — they will often hesitate, as these upgrades will frequently be:
- exceedingly disruptive to end users
- expensive and time consuming
- considerably challenging, requiring participation of various types of migration experts

The SPG Approach to Cloud Migration
When approached by a client with a request for large-scale changes, no matter the system architecture or selected cloud migration tool, Software Planet Group will always follow these 4 essential web app migration steps:
Analyse the solution’s existing ecosystem, including its infrastructure, architecture and codebase, to identify the most critical elements to upgrade.
Identify the testing strategy, to ensure a successful cloud migration and that the solution won’t be damaged in the process. This secure cloud migration method includes a plan for extending the test coverage.
Establish if the architectural elements may be migrated to the latest version directly, in several “jumps” (migrating to the newest possible version, until the latest one is finally reached), or if some of the elements need replacing.
Evaluate the estimation of efforts and if migrating the solution would make economic sense.
