Migrating a legacy application to cloud is the beginning, not the end. Applications designed for on-premises infrastructure rarely take full advantage of cloud capabilities — they are expensive to run, slow to scale, and brittle under load. Cloud modernisation transforms them into architectures that are designed for cloud from the ground up.
Cloudpire leads cloud modernisation engagements for organisations looking to move from monolithic architectures to microservices, introduce containerisation and Kubernetes, adopt serverless where appropriate, or implement Infrastructure as Code and modern CI/CD pipelines.
AI/ML infrastructure requirements are integrated naturally into modernisation engagements where applicable — GPU instance selection, vector database configuration, and model serving infrastructure are designed as part of the overall cloud-native architecture, not bolted on separately.
What You Get
How We Work
Application Assessment
We assess the existing application architecture, dependencies, and constraints to determine the right modernisation path.
Architecture Design
We design the target cloud-native architecture and agree the modernisation roadmap.
Infrastructure Provisioning
We provision the cloud-native infrastructure using IaC — fully reproducible, version-controlled.
Application Migration
We containerise or re-architect the application components and migrate to the new infrastructure.
Validation and Handover
We validate performance, security, and reliability, then hand over with documentation and team training.
How Engagements Work
We believe in transparency about process even when price is agreed in conversation.
Fixed-fee, defined scope
Every engagement begins with a scoped proposal — a clear statement of what will be delivered, by when, and for a fixed fee. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Right-sized for mid-market
Our engagements are designed for organisations that need genuine expertise but are not running enterprise procurement cycles. Senior-level delivery without enterprise-level overhead.
Outcomes, not outputs
We define success in business terms before work begins — not in deliverables, but in the specific outcome those deliverables are meant to achieve.
Migrating without modernising just moves the problem to a more expensive location. Cloud-native architecture delivers the economics, the reliability, and the scalability that cloud was built to provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both. We can modernise a complete application stack or focus on specific components — the approach is determined by business priority and risk tolerance.
Sometimes. Containerisation typically requires minimal code changes. Microservices decomposition may require more significant refactoring — we scope this accurately before agreeing a fixed fee.
No. We recommend Kubernetes when the operational complexity is justified by scale and flexibility requirements. For smaller applications, managed container services or serverless may be more appropriate.
