Cloud Migration
Cloud Migration Services for SaaS Companies
Move to AWS, GCP, or Azure without breaking production. SlickFinch plans, migrates, secures, and operates your cloud infrastructure so your product team can keep shipping.
Scope
What this service covers
Cloud readiness assessment
SlickFinch reviews the current state, designs the right target approach, implements the work in small stages, and documents the decisions so your team can operate confidently after handover. The detail varies by stack, but the standard is the same: practical engineering changes that make production safer and delivery easier.
Target cloud architecture
SlickFinch reviews the current state, designs the right target approach, implements the work in small stages, and documents the decisions so your team can operate confidently after handover. The detail varies by stack, but the standard is the same: practical engineering changes that make production safer and delivery easier.
Infrastructure as Code
SlickFinch reviews the current state, designs the right target approach, implements the work in small stages, and documents the decisions so your team can operate confidently after handover. The detail varies by stack, but the standard is the same: practical engineering changes that make production safer and delivery easier.
Migration execution
SlickFinch reviews the current state, designs the right target approach, implements the work in small stages, and documents the decisions so your team can operate confidently after handover. The detail varies by stack, but the standard is the same: practical engineering changes that make production safer and delivery easier.
Security and post-migration operations
SlickFinch reviews the current state, designs the right target approach, implements the work in small stages, and documents the decisions so your team can operate confidently after handover. The detail varies by stack, but the standard is the same: practical engineering changes that make production safer and delivery easier.
Delivery
How we work
We keep the work practical: assess the system, design the target state, implement in controlled stages, then validate with real operational signals.
Assess the current system
We map the applications, infrastructure, delivery process, ownership model, risks, costs, and constraints before recommending changes.
Design the practical target state
The target state covers architecture, tooling, security, operations, cost, documentation, and the handover model. It is written for implementation rather than presentation.
Implement in controlled stages
We avoid risky big-bang changes where possible. Work is broken into reviewable, testable steps with rollback paths and clear acceptance criteria.
Validate with real operational signals
We check deployment behaviour, logs, metrics, alerts, permissions, performance, cost, and failure paths before treating the work as finished.
Document and improve
Your team gets useful documentation, runbooks, and next-step recommendations. SlickFinch can hand over cleanly or continue as an operations partner.
Why SlickFinch
Built around product, infrastructure and operations
SlickFinch combines cloud infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, Kubernetes, SRE, security, and custom software experience. That matters because commercial service problems rarely sit in one neat box. A delivery problem may be caused by infrastructure. A reliability problem may be caused by software design. A cost problem may be caused by both.
We keep the work tied to business outcomes: safer production, faster releases, clearer ownership, better customer confidence, and infrastructure that supports product growth.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does a cloud migration take?
A simple migration can take a few weeks. A complex SaaS migration with multiple services, databases, CI/CD changes, and uptime requirements may take several months. SlickFinch starts with an assessment so you get a realistic timeline before the work begins.
Which cloud platform should we move to: AWS, GCP, or Azure?
It depends on your product, team experience, data needs, compliance requirements, and existing tooling. SlickFinch recommends the platform that fits the business rather than defaulting to one vendor.
Can you migrate us without downtime?
In many cases, yes, or close to it. The answer depends on the application architecture, database design, DNS setup, traffic patterns, and acceptable risk. SlickFinch designs migrations around phased cutovers, parallel environments, testing, and rollback paths to minimise disruption.
Do we need Kubernetes for our migration?
Not always. Kubernetes is powerful, but it adds operational complexity. Some SaaS teams are better served by managed containers, serverless services, or simpler cloud-native architecture. SlickFinch recommends Kubernetes only when it solves a real operational or scaling problem.
Will our cloud costs go down after migration?
They can, but cost reduction is not automatic. Cloud costs improve when the architecture is designed for the workload, resources are rightsized, scaling is controlled, and unused capacity is removed. SlickFinch includes cost controls and post-migration optimisation as part of the migration plan.
