10 Common Cloud Migration Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
  1. Migrating with no inventory of what talks to what.
  2. Copying production data to a poorly locked sandbox.
  3. Leaving admin keys in old scripts.
  4. Assuming “the cloud is backed up” without testing restores.
  5. Ignoring data residency until a customer asks.
  6. Lift-and-shift of a noisy neighbour VM that needed redesign.
  7. No cost alerts until the first shocking bill.
  8. DNS and TLS cutover with no rollback.
  9. Treating identity as an afterthought (everyone is owner).
  10. Calling the project done when VMs are up but nobody can deploy.

If the application itself is the problem, cloud will not fix it — legacy software signs. If you need a partner on a product that will live in the cloud, talk to Devzin.

FAQ

Should we rewrite during migration?

Only if the current system cannot run where you need it. Mixing a rewrite and a move is how both slip. Sequence them.

If you need software built around a real workflow — not a stack of disconnected tools — see Devzin application development or start a conversation.
