Migrating to the Cloud? Here’s Why 9 Out of 10 Clients Stick with TO THE NEW for DevOps
Introduction
When companies move to the cloud, most think the hardest part is the migration itself. Truth is — that’s just the start. Over the past few years, we’ve worked with startups, large-scale platforms, and everything in between. What have we learned? Cloud without solid DevOps is like buying a sports car but never changing gears. That’s why most of our cloud migration clients continue with us for DevOps too — not just for a few months, but long term.
To The New
Here’s why.
1. We Consider DevOps from Day 1
DevOps is not an afterthought when we begin a migration. It’s part of the plan. Monitoring, security, IaC, and CI/CD are all planned from the beginning. It ensures that the cloud setup is constructed from the start, saves time, and prevents rework.
2. No Downtime Surprises
We’re used to handling production traffic – media apps, OTT, e-commerce, fintech, ad-tech platforms, you name it, we have done it. So we plan cutovers in a way that users don’t even notice. No drama, no 3 AM firefighting. Just smooth transitions.
3. We Actively Reduce Your Cloud Bill
Every client wants to save on cloud — and rightly so. We analyze workloads and bring in the right mix of auto-scaling, spot servers, AWS Graviton, and cost-effective services. One client cut their AWS bill by 100 thousand dollars just by tuning infrastructure with our team.
Consider cloudKeeper for Cost Savings. CloudKeeper makes sure you get the advantage of Savings Plans without upfront commitment by passing on discounts as part of its pricing model, making it a key addition to your money-saving strategies.CloudKeeper can help you discover hidden savings opportunities by giving real-time visibility of your cloud expenses, identifying idle components, and suggesting rightsizing for your infrastructure.

4. We Don’t Reinvent the Wheel Every Time
Over time, we’ve built reusable DevOps frameworks tailored for industries like fintech, OTT,ad-tech, and e-commerce. These aren’t one-size-fits-all, but they save weeks of effort and have already proven in production.
5. Monitoring That Actually Helps
We don’t just throw Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog and call it a day. We work with your team to make sure alerts are relevant, logs are readable, and monitoring dashboards are useful. Because what’s the point of monitoring if no one looks at it?
6. Security Isn’t Optional
We’ve worked with clients who need to comply with PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2, you name it. We take security seriously — IAM roles, secret management, firewall rules, all double-checked. Because one mistake here and there can result in a very costly situation.
7. Dev, QA, and Operations — All on the Same Page
DevOps isn’t just for the infra team. We help product, QA, and developers collaborate better — same tools, same pipelines, same goals. It reduces friction and speeds up delivery.
8. Faster Releases, Less Stress
We automate everything that slows you down — infra provisioning, app deployment, and rollback plans. Releases go from “Let’s do it next week” to “Let’s ship it today.”
9. We Stay Post-Go-Live
Many companies disappear after the migration. We don’t. Most of our clients continue with us for DevOps as a Service — we help run their infrastructure, keep costs low, and support ongoing growth. We’re more like an extended team than just a vendor.
