Modernise your platform,
unlock cloud-native speed

Legacy infrastructure is holding your business back. Cloudwalker designs and executes end-to-end platform modernisation on AWS — from monolith decomposition to fully managed, cloud-native architecture.

What is Platform Modernisation

From legacy constraints to cloud-native agility

Most enterprises carry the weight of infrastructure built for a different era — monolithic applications, on-premises data centres, brittle integrations, and scaling bottlenecks that slow every release cycle.

Cloudwalker's Platform Modernisation practice designs a clear path from where you are to where you need to be — without disrupting operations. We assess your current architecture, define the target state on AWS, and execute the migration in structured phases, de-risking each step.

Architecture assessment
Comprehensive analysis of your current state: workloads, dependencies, data flows, and risk areas.
Migration roadmap
Phased delivery plan that sequences workloads by complexity and business priority, with clear milestones.
Cloud-native build
Replatform or re-architect to leverage managed AWS services — reducing operational overhead and scaling automatically.

Core capabilities

End-to-end modernisation, delivered on AWS

01

Monolith decomposition

Break legacy monolithic applications into loosely coupled microservices. Define bounded contexts, extract services incrementally, and maintain continuity throughout.

02

Lift & shift with optimisation

Rehost workloads to AWS EC2 as a first step, then right-size and migrate to managed services progressively. Reduces time-to-cloud without a big-bang rewrite.

EC2 Auto Scaling Reserved Instances
03

Containerisation & Kubernetes

Package applications into containers and orchestrate with Amazon EKS. Achieve environment parity, faster deployments, and horizontal scalability.

Amazon EKS Docker Helm
04

Data platform migration

Migrate on-premises databases and data warehouses to Redshift, RDS, or Aurora. Includes schema conversion, CDC pipelines via AWS DMS, and Zero-ETL integrations.

05

Networking & landing zone

Design multi-account AWS landing zones with Transit Gateway, VPCs, and Cloud WAN. Establish security baselines, centralized logging, and governance from day one.

Observability & FinOps

Instrument your cloud estate with CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Cost Explorer. Build dashboards for performance, reliability, and cost — with alerting and automated remediation.

Migration approach

Three horizons, one continuous journey

Horizon 01
Rehost & stabilise
Move workloads to AWS quickly using lift-and-shift. Establish the foundation: accounts, networking, security, and monitoring. Stop paying for data centre overhead immediately.
Horizon 02
Replatform & optimise
Replace self-managed infrastructure with managed AWS equivalents — RDS instead of self-managed databases, EKS instead of bare-metal Kubernetes, S3 instead of NAS. Reduce ops toil.
Horizon 03
Re-architect & innovate
Decompose monoliths, adopt event-driven patterns, and integrate AI/ML capabilities via Amazon Bedrock. Build the competitive advantage that was impossible on legacy infrastructure.

Delivery patterns

Proven AWS modernisation patterns

Strangler Fig
Incrementally replace legacy functionality, routing traffic to new services as they go live — zero big-bang risk.
Blue/Green deployment
Run old and new in parallel, shift traffic gradually, and roll back instantly if issues arise.
Event-driven architecture
Decouple services via Amazon EventBridge and SQS/SNS — enabling independent scaling and resilience.
Zero-trust security
Apply least-privilege IAM, VPC segmentation, and AWS Security Hub from the foundation, not as an afterthought.
