Move your applications
to the cloud

Transform your applications into modern cloud-native architecture

Embrace modern microservice architecture to achieve agility, resiliency, and operational savings

Reduce the cost of maintaining
your infrastructure

By undergoing legacy application transformation, your company can gain huge time and cost savings thanks to optimizing the way your technology and software are managed.

Increase reliability
and ops efficiency

Application transformation drives you to obtain resiliency and enables your enterprise to operate more effectively. Cloud-native applications empower consistency and provide you with confidence in delivering software.

Automate delivery to
improve time to market

Moving from the legacy software to modern applications enables you to implement automation into your delivery process. Using automation tools, you gain agility, accelerate the release cycle and work smarter.

Cloud native
transformation process

Your company can go through application transformation with ease by using the help of digital transformation consulting teams. The process requires expertise and proficiency in both - cloud infrastructure and a culture of building cloud software.

Grape Up provides own way of transforming legacy software into modern apps.
The practice consists of three stages:

1.

Evaluate
your app

During this process, an application is verified on what has to be done to provide a successful transition. You have to identify key workloads that need to be migrated to the cloud and evaluate the app’s compatibility with the 12-factor app methodology. To avoid delays in the transformation process, identify potential bottlenecks ahead.

2.

Transform legacy software
using proven methodologies

On this stage, you are going through iterative application refactoring that uses 12-factor principles and microservices pattern. The transition to cloud native requires incremental decoupling of the monolith into a microservices-based application. Your legacy apps are broken down into smaller units and packed into containers to accelerate its orchestration.

3.

Enhance transformed
software

A successful legacy application transformation is completed with ensuring long-term resiliency and maintainability of your application through setting up CI/CD pipelines. Implementing CI/CD automation provides you with improvements in delivery, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Application transformation
process tailored to your
needs

Depending on your technology stack, state of your software and your business goals, your applications may need different solutions.

Re-hosting

You have to identify key workloads that need to be migrated to the cloud and evaluate the app’s compatibility with the 12-factor app methodology. To avoid delays in the transformation process, identify potential bottlenecks ahead.

Re-platforming

Your legacy apps are broken down into smaller units and packed into containers to accelerate its orchestration.

How to tackle common
challenges occurring during
app transformation

By providing you with an experienced digital transformation consulting team, we empower you to deal with the most challenging aspects of legacy application transformation.

Determining the proper
app to re-platforming

Selecting the right one app - this one that is the most representative to your software and the easiest to replatform at the same time enables you to start the process with ease.

App transformation expertise and understanding of the existing environment

While working on transforming your software, you need both - experts in cloud native and people how understanding your infrastructure or are able to gain that knowledge within your organization.

Choosing an appropriate
strategy

As the app modernization may be done differently - re-hosting, re-platforming or re-architecting - you have to make the right decision on how advanced should be your software transformation.

Enabling effective
monitoring

Moving to cloud native gives your company agility and resilience that couldn’t be reached with legacy architecture. To get the most out of the quality shift, you have to master the monitoring of app performance, security, and network traffic, which need proven expertise.

Servers to the cloud versus
deploying apps in the cloud

Some enterprises narrow down the transformation to moving their servers to the cloud instead of focusing on deploying cloud-native apps. It's a tendency that can’t provide a sustainable competitive advantage.

Ensuring SLAs during
and after re-platforming

Making sure that your software will be working effectively while re-platformed and after the process is vital to providing your services without disruption. Choosing partners that ensure their commitment to service-level agreements is the key to go through the transformation without risk.

Methodologies
and practices that
support digital
transformation

To enhance the power of executed transformation to cloud native, your company needs to implement DevOps, Agile, Extreme Programming, Test-Driven Development, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery.

These approaches not only allowing to properly develop software in a new environment but also make it easier for your employees to adapt to the changes in technology.

Along with using the most effective approaches to software delivery during the project, every collaboration should start with practices that enable a better understanding of common goals and challenges.

Inception meeting

A workshop that enables the project team to jointly define goals and objections, as well as a backlog for the upcoming project.

Event storming

A simple yet powerful practice to define system events and dependencies, finding context boundaries and domains by using sticky notes on a wide wall.

Snap analysis

A process of defining characteristics, risks, and metrics to help determine MVP and possible user stories.

Toolset selection

Collaboration on creating the overall high-level approach regarding tools and technologies used in the project.
