What changes when it is e-commerce

Lift-and-shift is fast and leaves the savings on the table; re-architecting is slower and unlocks them. Most estates warrant a mix, decided workload by workload.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how cloud migration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against logistics aggregators. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Where we usually start
catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction

Cloud Migration workloads in e-commerce

  • catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction
  • search relevance
  • product recommendations
  • return-reason analysis
  • support automation

What is included

  • Inventory of every workload, dependency and integration before planning
  • Cost model comparing current spend against realistic cloud spend
  • Migration approach per workload rather than one strategy for all
  • Staged cutover with rollback at each step
  • Security posture, network design and access control
  • Post-migration cost optimisation, because the first bill is never the last word

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

Will cloud reduce our costs?

Sometimes, and not automatically. Variable and spiky workloads usually save; steady heavy compute often does not. The cost model in week one gives you the real answer for your estate.

Can we migrate without downtime?

For most workloads, yes, with staged cutover and parallel running. Some database migrations need a short planned window, which we rehearse rather than improvise.

Should we go multi-cloud?

Rarely, unless you have a specific reason. Multi-cloud doubles operational complexity and most organisations do not recover that cost in resilience or leverage.

Cloud Migration for e-commerce, worth a conversation?

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
