Cloud Migration & Application Modernization
Legacy systems slow down delivery, increase risk, and block AI adoption. MasterLabs helps you modernize what matters and migrate what makes sense—with a controlled, secure, and business-aligned roadmap that reduces disruption and accelerates outcomes.
We combine cloud strategy + migration execution + application modernization into a single end-to-end engagement: from portfolio assessment and landing zones to Kubernetes enablement, microservices refactoring, and modernization delivery in measurable waves
Modernization is not a “lift-and-shift project”—it’s the gateway to resilient digital products, scalable operations, and AI-ready platforms. We help organizations reduce legacy drag, modernize architecture, and build cloud foundations with security and compliance designed in.
Typical triggers we see:
Cloud costs rising without visibility or governance
Release cycles slowing due to monolith constraints and manual ops
Security & audit requirements increasing (regulated environments)
Need for scalable, decoupled systems for growth and integrations
Why modernize + migrate now?
What we do
1) Cloud Strategy & Roadmap
We analyze your current infrastructure, application portfolio, and operating model to define a modernization path and a migration sequence that fits your priorities—speed, risk, compliance, and ROI.
2) Secure & Seamless Cloud Migration
We execute non-disruptive migrations via phased, controlled waves per workload—minimizing downtime and operational risk while increasing reliability and performance.
3) Cloud-Native & Modern Architectures
We enable cloud-native modernization using patterns such as containerization, Kubernetes, microservices, and serverless—so your applications can fully benefit from cloud capabilities.
Modernization Models
Kubernetes Enablement
Standardize runtime, networking, and deployment for portable, resilient workloads—reducing drift and enabling automated operations.
Microservices Enablement
Domain-driven decomposition, service boundaries, integration maturity, stateless auth, caching, eventing/queues, service discovery—built for independent releases.
.NET Modernization
Modernize legacy .NET stacks (WCF/WPF/WinForms/MVC and non-core compliant dependencies) to modern frameworks and cloud patterns.
Splitting the Monolith (DDD)
Bounded context analysis and architecture sessions (e.g., event-based discovery workshops) to create a safe, incremental roadmap.
CQRS / Event Sourcing (where it fits)
Adopt event-driven models to scale and decouple workloads—especially for high-volume workflows with complex state transitions.
Cloud-Native Acceleration
Managed services, serverless triggers, managed databases, object storage, messaging, and cloud-native integration patterns—not just containers.
Modernization Options
Tailored approaches fit your workload’s risk, time, and constraints.
Rehost / Replatform
Quick wins with minimal changes to your existing setup.
Refactor / Rearchitect
Unlock cloud-native benefits and boost scalability.
Rebuild / Retire
Overcome old design limits or cut costs when value fades.
Delivered Artifacts

FAQs
Do you do lift-and-shift?
We support lift-and-shift when it fits, but focus on cloud-native modernization.
How do you reduce risk?
We migrate in controlled waves with validation, rollback plans, and readiness gates.
Can you modernize without stopping delivery?
Yes, we prioritize incremental modernization and platform enablement to keep things running smoothly.
What’s a modernization roadmap?
It’s a plan guiding your journey from lift-and-shift to cloud-native solutions.
How do you handle rollback?
We prepare rollback plans for each wave to minimize disruption if needed.
Do you support platform enablement during migration?
Absolutely, our approach includes platform enablement to ensure smooth, ongoing delivery.
