DevOps Engineer Staffing for Cloud Migration

Challenge:
The client’s legacy on-premises data center was expensive to maintain and lacked the scalability needed for their growing e-commerce platform. They planned a migration to cloud infrastructure to reduce costs, improve uptime, and enable faster deployments. However, their internal IT team lacked DevOps expertise necessary for infrastructure as code, container orchestration, and CI/CD automation—critical components for a smooth cloud migration and ongoing operations. Delays could impact sales during peak seasons, increasing business risk.

Solution:
UpHove identified and placed certified AWS DevOps engineers with proven experience in Terraform for infrastructure automation, Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines. The DevOps team collaborated closely with the client’s IT and development teams, designing cloud architecture, automating infrastructure deployment, and setting up monitoring and alerting systems to maintain high availability. We ensured a phased migration plan minimizing downtime.

Result:
The cloud migration was completed 25% faster than the original timeline, with seamless cutover and no significant disruption to business operations. Deployment frequency increased from monthly to weekly, accelerating new feature releases and bug fixes. Cloud cost optimization strategies implemented by the DevOps team reduced infrastructure expenses by 20%. The client reported improved site reliability and scalability, enabling them to handle high traffic during sales events without downtime.
