Enterprise clients migrating applications to the cloud often face vendor lock-in, rewrites and high cost. In my experience (mobile apps, web stacks, embedded systems), the less talked-about strategy is architecture refactoring to decouple business logic from infrastructure.
An energy sector company refactored backend components so they could migrate across cloud providers with minimal code changes – lowering migration time and cost.
I’ve separated infrastructure-specific modules from core logic in systems I built, enabling portability and reducing dependency on a particular cloud vendor or instance type.
When architected for change, the system supports future growth, cloud switching or region expansion — all at lower cost.
