Customer-Facing Downtime During Migration

Our Approach

How we delivered it

1

Conducted a 4-week application portfolio assessment, classifying 120 applications by migration complexity and business criticality.

2

Designed a lift-and-shift strategy for non-critical applications and a re-architecture strategy for core banking services using microservices.

3

Implemented a parallel-run period of 8 weeks where both on-premise and cloud systems processed transactions simultaneously for validation.

4

Executed a zero-downtime cutover using blue-green deployment, switching traffic to the cloud environment during a low-activity Sunday night window.

5

Delivered a full CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure-as-code setup, enabling the bank's internal team to manage future deployments independently.

Solution Summary

What we built

Executed a phased migration to AWS with containerised microservices, zero-downtime cutover, and a full CI/CD pipeline.
