Cloud Modernization
Modernize the platform that's slowing everything down.
Cloud Modernization is a Managed Delivery POD engagement covering migration, refactoring, and re-architecture. A senior US engineer or CTO leads the team, and modernization is planned with platform stability as a requirement.
Our approach
Stability is a requirement, not an afterthought.
When legacy technology is limiting the business, the first move is a Software Delivery Snapshot to find what is really behind the slowdown. Sometimes it is the platform. Sometimes it is ownership, handoffs, or the backlog.
When modernization is the answer, a POD led by a senior US engineer or CTO plans the work with platform stability as a requirement and owns it end to end.
What we offer
What Cloud Modernization covers
What it covers
Migration
Moving applications and workloads to the cloud.
Refactoring
Restructuring existing code and services to run well in the cloud.
Re-architecture
Redesigning a platform's architecture when the current one is limiting the business.
Platforms and tooling
AWS, GCP, and Azure
Production experience across all three major cloud platforms, with AWS as our deepest practice area.
Containers and serverless
Kubernetes, including EKS, GKE, and AKS, plus ECS Fargate, Cloud Run, and serverless functions.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform and Pulumi, with cloud-native architecture as a standard part of the delivery toolkit.
How the team is structured
Senior US leadership
A senior US engineer or CTO leads every POD and acts as the single accountable owner for delivery.
A complete delivery team
Each POD includes a product manager, an AI architect, and QA, with senior engineers from the US and Latin America working in your business hours.
End-to-end backlog ownership
Work, handoffs, and coordination run through one accountable unit on a single sprint cadence.

How we work
How a POD engagement starts
Every POD follows the same onboarding plan, which targets a first delivery sprint within weeks 3 to 6, depending on backlog and codebase access.
Kickoff
We align on goals, scope, and team configuration, and name the product or engineering contact for backlog alignment.
- Goals and scope
- Team configuration
Codebase and architecture review
The POD lead reviews your codebase, environments, and architecture, and documents any gaps.
- Codebase access
- Architecture review
Backlog assessment
We work through the backlog with you, so grooming and prioritization point at what reaches customers.
- Documented backlog
- Priorities set
Team integration
The POD joins your sprint cadence and works alongside your engineers as one accountable unit, with performance on the same scoreboard as yours.
- Single sprint cadence
- Your business hours

FAQ
Cloud Modernization FAQs
Cloud modernization updates how an application runs and is built, through migration, refactoring, or re-architecture. At Sonatafy, it is delivered by a Managed Delivery POD led by a senior US engineer or CTO.
Migration moves applications and workloads to the cloud. Modernization goes further, refactoring or re-architecting the platform so it stops limiting the business. Sonatafy's Cloud Modernization covers both.
AWS, GCP, and Azure. AWS is our deepest practice area, and GCP and Azure are actively staffed with experienced engineers.
Yes. Engineers run production workloads on EKS, GKE, AKS, ECS Fargate, Cloud Run, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions, with infrastructure as code in Terraform and Pulumi.
Start with a complimentary Software Delivery Snapshot. It covers predictability, capacity, technical debt, architecture, scalability, DevOps, and modernization blockers, so you can see whether the platform is really the constraint.
Modernization is planned with platform stability as a requirement. The POD lead surfaces speed and stability tradeoffs at the design phase, recommends an approach with documented rationale, and you make the final call. Scope is confirmed during scoping.
A senior US engineer or CTO leads the POD and owns the outcome, with a product manager, an AI architect, and QA built into the team, and senior engineers from the US and Latin America.
You do. The client owns 100% of all code, configurations, documentation, and other work product created under the engagement.
Onboarding covers kickoff, a codebase and architecture review, a backlog assessment, and team integration, and targets a first delivery sprint within weeks 3 to 6, depending on backlog and codebase access.
Fee and scope are set in a scoping conversation. Snapshots are complimentary.
