We build and execute cloud migration programmes for production engineering teams, from on-premises to AWS, Azure, or GCP migrations to cloud-to-cloud transitions, hybrid architectures, refactoring sprints, and post-migration cost optimisation. With 13+ years of production engineering experience and ISO 9001 certified delivery, we serve production teams across 45+ countries at India rates with Western-grade discipline.
Whether you are moving an aging on-premises stack to cloud for the first time, migrating between cloud providers to reduce costs, refactoring lift-and-shift workloads into cloud-native architecture, or running a cost optimisation sprint, our engineering team ships work that moves the metrics that matter: migration timeline, downtime minutes, and cost per workload.
Tell us about your roadmap. We reply same day.
Written migration plans that break the work into shippable phases with measurable risk reduction at each phase. Each phase has its own runbook, rollback plan, and validation criteria.
Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, ARM templates, or Bicep depending on target cloud and team preference. Modular IaC your team can extend after we leave. Idempotent, peer-reviewed, and version-controlled.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and DynamoDB migrations. Change data capture (CDC) with Debezium, AWS DMS, or Azure DMS for online cutover. Schema validation and dual-write patterns for cross-engine migrations.
Move from lift-and-shift to cloud-native: containerisation, autoscaling, managed services adoption, and stateless application patterns. Refactor in slices so each component ships independently.
FinOps sprints that target underused reserved instances, oversized compute, unattached storage, idle databases, and cross-AZ data transfer. Typical first-year savings range from 15 to 40 percent.
Sixty-minute call. We learn your product, current architecture, customer mix, and constraints. We agree on the scope envelope and engagement model.
We propose engineers from our vetted bench. You interview and approve each one. The team plugs into your tools.
Two-week sprints with demo gates, written status, and code reviews you can audit. Engineers join your standups and follow your code review process.
Staged rollout, performance testing, security review, and a 30-day post-launch tune-up. Handoff includes runbooks, dashboards, and documented escalation paths.
Production teams pick us for five reasons:
India delivery rates with Western-grade engineering discipline. Hourly $13 to $25 by seniority.
13+ years of production migration experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
ISO 9001 certified delivery. Documented change controls, runbooks, and rollback plans for every migration phase.
Full IP ownership transfers from day one. Infrastructure as code, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and any custom tooling belong to your team.
Engineering managers run delivery, not project managers. Weekly sync with someone who can read a stack trace and debug a production migration issue.
One to four engineers assigned to your codebase on a three-month minimum. Best for sustained engineering work and ongoing platform development. Pricing $1,200 to $4,000 per engineer per month depending on seniority.
Pay for actual hours worked on a defined scope with weekly reporting. Best for audits, integrations, and shorter performance sprints. $13 to $25 an hour by seniority.
Fixed-price pilot tied to measurable outcomes. Partial refund if the agreed baseline improvement is missed. Typical pilot $25,000 to $80,000 depending on scope.

Companies running production workloads in their own data centers, on co-located hardware, or on aging managed hosting providers. First-time cloud migrations with limited cloud-native experience on the in-house team.
Companies consolidating multi-cloud footprints, switching primary cloud providers for cost or vendor-lock reasons, or migrating after acquisitions where target and acquired company run on different clouds.
Companies that did a lift-and-shift migration earlier and are now refactoring to cloud-native patterns: containers, managed services, autoscaling, serverless. Refactor sprints run 8 to 16 weeks per workload group.
Companies with existing cloud footprints where cost has grown faster than usage. Targeted cost reduction sprints with measured outcome, FinOps practice setup with dashboards and automated alerts, or tagging and chargeback model implementation.
Companies migrating from on-premises databases (Oracle, SQL Server, legacy PostgreSQL or MySQL) to cloud-managed alternatives, or migrating between cloud database engines. CDC for online migrations, schema validation tools, and dual-write patterns for zero-downtime cutover.

I looked around at several developers to compare costs, but they didn’t fit within my budget. Finally, I reached out to a company in India called ScalaCode. We set up several online meetings over a couple of weeks and came up with an app that did exactly what I wanted within my budget. I can confidently say that ScalaCode has been an excellent choice for me.

Jaa St. Julien
Pres. & Chief Strategy Officer - St. Julien CommunicationsI have been working with ScalaCode for almost a year and half now. I have this project 4Sale, it’s a marketplace application. I contacted them for the project and we started around 2021. The company is very responsive and always take the extra mile to help you out. I highly recommend them; if you have a project, contact this company. They always respond on time even though there’s a time difference.
Manuel
CEO, 4SaleThe application was basically built from scratch, and was complicated, as the software was to be integrated with a certain Medical EHR software. As the CEO of SHG, I was very pleased with the services, expertise, and support we received from ScalaCode, from the beginning directly through the first LIVE implementation.
Stephen Holmes
CEO, Steve Homes GroupThe iOS and Android apps exceeded the expectations of the internal team. ScalaCode crafts high-quality products that are easy to use and fit the requirements of the client. The team is technically experienced, hard-working, and knowledgeable.
Carolyn Dare
Director, Empowered AchieverI needed a reliable team on-hand, and ScalaCode delivered. Their excellent availability and project oversight made a big impact.

Alessandro
CEO / Founder (XR Company)Yes for most workloads. Change data capture (CDC) for online database migration. Blue-green deployment for application migration. Parallel-running validation before cutover. Cutover windows are typically minutes, not hours.
Yes. Cost optimisation typically runs 30 to 60 days after cutover when usage patterns are stable. Typical first-year savings range from 15 to 40 percent.
Yes. Terraform modules, runbooks, architecture diagrams, IAM policies, network configurations, and any custom tooling belong to your team from day one.
Yes. We adapt to your stack and processes. We work in your repositories, use your CI/CD pipelines, follow your change management process, and join your on-call rotation if scoped.
Hourly $13 to $25 by seniority. Monthly dedicated team $1,200 to $4,000 per engineer. Migration assessments $20,000 to $50,000. Small footprint migrations $80,000 to $200,000. Medium to large migrations $200,000 to $500,000.
Five to ten business days from contract signature. For highly regulated environments security onboarding may take 2 to 4 weeks.
Yes. Identity and access management, network security (VPCs, security groups, NACLs), encryption at rest and in transit, logging and audit trail, integration with your existing SIEM and SOC tooling.
We train your team. Knowledge transfer is built into every engagement: architecture walkthroughs, IaC code reviews with your engineers, runbook drills, and a 30-day question window after handoff.
Unlike other teams, they addressed every critical aspect of the rollout. ScalaCode delivered a flawless MVP on time and on budget.
