- 01Cloud Migration Services
> MOVE WORKLOADS WITHOUT LOSING UPTIME <
Cloud migration involves assessment, planning, data migration, and optimization. Rehosting involves minimal changes during cloud migration, which works for stable applications. Replatforming modifies applications to utilize cloud capabilities where minor adjustments unlock measurable gains. Refactoring optimizes applications for cloud environments when the business case justifies deeper re architecting. Repurchase means moving to a different cloud application, such as a SaaS product, when that better fits business needs. Datacenter migration moves data from on premises servers to the cloud, and we sequence those moves in waves to protect business operations during cutovers so production stays online. Hybrid cloud migration combines on premises and cloud resources for organizations that cannot move everything at once. Cloud to cloud migration moves resources between different cloud platforms when your current cloud provider no longer fits. Each migration project follows a structured process: discovery and assessment should inventory existing applications and dependencies, planning includes developing a roadmap for application movement, migration execution helps teams cloud migrate workloads into the target environment, and validation ensures connectivity, security, and performance post migration. We also migrate applications or data in the right order to reduce dependency issues and avoid avoidable downtime.
- Application dependency mapping
- Wave based migration sequencing
- Rollback planning for every stage
- Minimal downtime cutover windows
- Post migration performance validation
> WHAT YOUR ROADMAP ACTUALLY COVERS <
What do you get when the planning phase is complete? A document your team can execute against, with clear ownership, timelines, and rollback criteria for every migration wave.
- Cloud provider selection rationale
- Network and identity architecture blueprints
- Compliance and data residency mapping
- Database migration sequencing
- 02Cloud Computing Solutions
> INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MATCHES YOUR WORKLOAD <
Most Albany organizations run a mix of legacy applications, internal tools, and third party platforms that were never designed to work together in cloud environments. Our cloud computing solutions start by mapping your current infrastructure, identifying bottlenecks, and designing an architecture that connects everything without unnecessary complexity. We configure resources on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud based on what each application actually needs, not what a default template suggests. The result is a system that runs predictably and costs what it should. Capital Region companies often deal with compliance requirements tied to New York State regulations, data residency rules, or industry specific mandates. We address those constraints during architecture design, not as an afterthought. That means encryption, access controls, and audit trails are part of the foundation. Every configuration is documented and repeatable through Infrastructure as Code, so your team can manage it long after deployment.
- Multi cloud and hybrid architecture design
- Identity and access management setup
- Automated resource provisioning
- Compliance aligned configurations
- Performance monitoring from day one
- 03DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure
> SHIP CODE WITHOUT BREAKING PRODUCTION <
Slow releases and manual deployments create risk. Our DevOps and cloud infrastructure services replace fragile handoffs with automated pipelines that test, package, and deploy code consistently. We set up CI/CD workflows tailored to your stack, whether you run containers, serverless functions, or traditional VMs. DevOps processes are not a layer we add on top; they are wired into the way your cloud platforms operate from the start. For Albany teams managing multiple environments or working across distributed offices, we configure infrastructure so that staging, testing, and production stay in sync. Everything is version controlled and reproducible. When something fails, rollback is automatic, not a scramble. Our engineers handle the tooling so your developers focus on features instead of firefighting deployment issues.
- CI/CD pipeline configuration
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or CloudFormation
- Container orchestration with Kubernetes
- Environment parity across staging and production
- Automated rollback and incident response
- 04Managed Cloud Services
> KEEP YOUR CLOUD RUNNING AFTER MIGRATION DAY <
Support that keeps cloud value compounding. Managed services cover what happens next: monitoring, patching, cost tracking, and incident response. Enterprises waste an average of 35% on cloud bills because no one reviews resource allocation after the initial setup. We run continuous optimization cycles that right size instances, clean up unused storage, and flag anomalies before they become outages while helping lower costs over time. Ongoing support means your cloud stays aligned with how your business actually operates and with broader digital transformation goals. Our managed cloud services include security and compliance monitoring so that access policies, encryption standards, and audit logs stay current as your environment changes. We handle operating system updates, backup verification, and disaster recovery testing on a schedule your team agrees to. You get a service provider that owns the problem, not a ticketing system that queues it.
- Monthly cost optimization reviews
- Disaster recovery testing
- Security posture assessments

WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BUILD TOGETHER
Direct feedback from founders and product owners – including our partners right here in Albany, NY – after shipping, scaling, and maintaining real production systems.
WHAT CHANGED IN PRACTICE
Clients didn’t stay because of promises. They stayed because delivery became predictable, ownership was clear, and the product kept moving forward after launch.
- 01Direct Access to Senior Engineers
Every cloud migration project at SoftDoes is handled by senior engineers who own the work end to end. There are no account managers relaying messages between you and the people writing the code. You talk directly to the engineer designing your architecture. This eliminates delays caused by miscommunication and keeps project progress visible. Our team members average years of hands on experience across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. When a technical decision needs to be made, the person on the call can make it.
- 02Predictable Delivery
We scope every migration project with defined milestones, dependencies, and timelines before work begins. Each phase has acceptance criteria so you know exactly what "done" looks like. Migration timelines vary from 2 weeks to several months based on complexity, and we account for that range in our planning. Budget constraints are addressed upfront through cost modeling, not discovered halfway through execution. You receive regular updates tied to deliverables, not vague status emails. If a risk emerges, we flag it early with a concrete plan to address it.
- 03Built to Last Past Launch
Cloud infrastructure that works on launch day but breaks under real load is not a finished product. We design every system with business continuity, disaster recovery, and long term maintainability as core requirements. Configurations are automated through Infrastructure as Code so they can be reproduced, audited, and updated without manual intervention. Documentation is thorough and written for your team, not for ours. Post launch, your client's infrastructure operates independently of us. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.
- 04No Babysitting Required
Our goal is to hand you a system that your internal team can operate without calling us every week. We write clear runbooks, configure monitoring dashboards, and train your staff on the tools and workflows we set up. Alerts are tuned to surface real problems, not noise. Automation handles routine tasks like backups, patching, and cost reporting. If you do need support after launch, we are available, but you will not be dependent on us for daily operations. That independence is a measure of client success for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deploying, scaling, and securing your neural agents with SoftDoes. Can’t find an answer?
How is communication handled during a cloud migration project?
You communicate directly with the engineers doing the work. We use shared channels in Slack or Teams for day to day questions and hold structured check ins weekly or biweekly depending on the phase. Every milestone has a review session where we walk through what was completed, what is next, and any risks. We do not route messages through project managers who are disconnected from the technical details. Decisions happen faster because the people in the conversation have the context to make them. All key decisions are documented in a shared project tracker so nothing gets lost.
What types of cloud migration services projects are a good fit for SoftDoes?
We work on projects ranging from straightforward lift and shift migrations to complex re architecting efforts that involve refactoring legacy applications for cloud environments. Database migration, moving data between cloud platforms, and hybrid setups all fall within our scope. Short engagements like a cloud readiness assessment are just as valid as multi month migration programs. The common thread is that the work requires real engineering judgment, not just following a wizard. If your project involves compliance, custom architecture, or workloads that do not fit a default template, we are a strong fit.
How do you help us optimize cloud costs after migration?
After the migration process completes, we run a cost optimization cycle that reviews your resource utilization, reserved instance coverage, and storage tiering. We identify idle resources, oversized instances, and services that can be replaced with cheaper alternatives. Recommendations come with projected savings and implementation steps, not just a spreadsheet. We configure automated policies for auto scaling and lifecycle management to prevent waste from accumulating again. If you opt for managed services, these reviews happen monthly. Our focus is cost effectiveness that holds up over time, not a one time cleanup.
How do you handle scope and changes during cloud migration?
Scope is defined before work starts, with clear deliverables for each phase. When changes come up, and they always do, we evaluate impact on timeline, budget, and architecture. We present options with trade offs so you can make an informed decision. Small adjustments are absorbed as part of normal engineering work. Larger changes go through a lightweight change request process that keeps everything documented. The goal is flexibility without losing control of the migration strategy.
What happens after launch of cloud services?
After launch, we run a stabilization period where we monitor performance, resolve any issues, and verify that all systems are operating as designed. This typically lasts two to four weeks depending on the complexity of the migration. We then hand off operations to your team with full documentation, runbooks, and trained access to monitoring tools. If you want ongoing support, our managed services cover monitoring, patching, optimization, and incident response. If you prefer to run things internally, we make sure you are fully equipped. Either way, you own everything and can operate independently.
Who owns the cloud infrastructure accounts and configurations?
You do. Every cloud account, configuration, and credential belongs to your organization from the start. We work inside your accounts using access you grant, and that access is revoked when the engagement ends. All Infrastructure as Code, documentation, and architecture diagrams are delivered to you as project artifacts. There is no vendor lock in to SoftDoes. If you decide to bring in a different team later, they can pick up where we left off because everything is documented and version controlled. Your IT infrastructure remains under your control at every stage.
What makes SoftDoes different from a typical agency?
Most agencies assign junior staff to migration projects and layer account managers between you and the engineers. SoftDoes puts senior engineers on every engagement with direct client communication. We focus on cloud migration services and cloud infrastructure, not generalist IT support. Our work is scoped with fixed deliverables, not open ended retainers that reward slowness. Every system we set up is designed so your team can run it without depending on us. That approach makes us a trusted partner for organizations that treat their cloud as core infrastructure, not a side project.
How do you price cloud migration projects?
We price based on scope, complexity, and the cloud migration strategy required for your specific environment. After an initial assessment, we provide a detailed estimate broken into phases so you can see exactly what each stage covers and what it costs. There are no hidden fees for project management or communication. If your requirements change mid project, we adjust the scope and pricing transparently before additional work begins. For ongoing managed services, we offer monthly plans tied to the size and complexity of your cloud environments. Every engagement starts with a clear understanding of costs involved so there are no surprises.
What to Expect on a Discovery Call with a Software Development Company
A discovery call with SoftDoes is a 30 minute conversation to determine whether your business challenges align with our engineering expertise. There is no sales pitch, no pressure, and no expectation that you arrive with a technical specification. You explain your current situation, we ask questions, discuss possible directions, and together decide whether moving forward makes sense.
