Cloud Modernisation

Migration and architecture redesign for production SaaS workloads on AWS. The work reduced operational cost by 85% while improving performance, scalability, governance, and disaster recovery.

Role
Cloud Operations Engineer
Period
August 2019 – May 2021
Outcome
85% lower operational cost

The transformation

Legacy on-premises workloads and content-delivery paths moved to AWS, then the architecture was redesigned around managed storage, event-driven compute, orchestration, analytics, APIs, and content delivery.

The largest saving came from architecture change rather than tactical right-sizing. Multi-account governance, monitoring, delivery automation, and recovery supported the new operating model.

Architecture decisions

  • Managed services replaced higher-overhead operating patterns where they improved the workload.
  • Event-driven workflows supported scalable processing and reduced idle capacity.
  • Multi-account governance improved control and visibility across production environments.
  • Recovery and observability remained part of the production operating model.
