Moving an ageing on-premise platform to the cloud without disrupting trading.
Zero
unplanned downtime during migration
Auto
scaling for peak season
The challenge
Servers were reaching end of life and seasonal peaks regularly slowed the online store.
Our solution
We planned a phased migration, rehearsed every cutover and moved systems in quiet trading windows.
- Cloud landing zone with infrastructure as code
- Auto-scaling for seasonal peaks
- Automated backups and monitoring
- Runbooks for the in-house team
The result
The store now scales automatically during sales and the old data centre contract could be ended.
