This is a very common question and understandably can create real uncertainty. Fortunately, the process can be gradual and does not need to interrupt your current online experience. We have assisted a number of companies and have developed a proven methodology for helping our clients to make the transition smoothly and without any service interruption.

We have found that typically there are a couple ways to begin taking advantage of cloud-based microservices quickly and efficiently. For existing code, finding points to add hooks to publish events to an event bus can be a great place to start. For net new functionality, creating new endpoints that resolve to cloud-based microservices enables you to make the transition.

This is an area that really showcases the value of cloud-native applications. From traffic managers to load balancers, response caching, ingress controllers, and auto-scalable multi-node kubernetes deployments, we will help you implement the the environment that works best for you. Do you need to support multiple geographic areas? We have ample experience deploying regionally and globally.

The tools available to achieve this are many and varied. In our experience, finding the right blend of tools to achieve your specific requirements can make a huge impact on overall system load and response times. With tools such as web application firewalls, traffic monitoring and filtering, integrated IDP and the use of jwt tokens, we work to secure your environment at all points.

Present day development tools are typically 'cloud-ready'. This means that it is possible to containerize and push changes to your applications with tools that your software developers are using today. In addition, there are a number of powerful low-cost and open source desktop applications for managing kubernetes clusters and CI/CD style deployments. We will help your team come up to speed quickly.
