Architecture modernisation

Architecture modernisation without unnecessary complexity

We evolve legacy platforms (monoliths) into modern architectures (containers, serverless, microservices) to handle more traffic, deploy faster, and reduce costs.

When it is usually needed

Problems worth addressing before they become operational debt.

Your core application is a rigid monolith that is painful to update.

The platform crashes or slows down drastically during traffic spikes.

You overpay for massive servers (vertical scaling) that sit idle at night.

Adding a new feature takes months due to tightly coupled code.

You fear that a failure in a minor component will take down the entire system.

You want to truly adopt the cloud (cloud-native), not just rent virtual machines.

What we do

Engineering applied to the system you already have.

Intelligent decoupling

We separate the logical components of your application so they can scale and fail independently, without affecting the rest of the business.

Containerisation & Serverless

We package code in containers (Docker) or Serverless functions to harness the true elasticity of the cloud.

Progressive evolution

We design coexistence strategies such as the Strangler Fig pattern to migrate in stages and reduce impact on the existing system.

Scope

Concrete technical work, documented and transferable.

cloud-native Design

Architecture based on events, queues, and microservices tailored to your provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI).

Migration to Containers

Code adaptation (12-Factor App) to run ephemerally and scalably.

Managed Databases

Migration of monolithic databases to fully managed services (RDS, Cloud SQL, DynamoDB).

Immutable Infrastructure

The entire new design is born directly written as code (Terraform).

Built-in Observability

The new architecture includes telemetry by design (distributed tracing and centralised logs).

Transition Strategy

Progressive traffic routing planning to test the new architecture live.

Expected outcome

  • Support massive traffic spikes by scaling only the system parts that need it.
  • Reduce infrastructure costs by paying only for resources actually used.
  • Accelerate the development cycle by having small, independent components.
  • Increase fault tolerance (if the PDF service crashes, the payment gateway keeps working).
  • Free developers from server management burdens.

How we work

Monolith Analysis

We review your code and data to identify which services make sense to carve out first (quick wins).

Proof of Concept (PoC)

We design the new architecture and migrate a small, non-critical piece to validate the model.

Iterative Migration

We gradually route traffic to the new architecture while keeping the legacy system alive.

Legacy Decommission

Once all traffic is handled by the new architecture, we decommission the old servers.

What stays with your team

Code, documentation and capability that do not depend on us.

  • High Level Architecture Design document.
  • Terraform code for the new cloud-native infrastructure.
  • CI/CD pipelines adapted to the new paradigm.
  • Data migration guides and temporary coexistence schemas.

Fit

It makes sense when

  • Hyper-growth companies (Scale-ups) whose original architecture has fallen short.
  • Platforms with highly variable traffic (e.g., e-commerce, ticketing, streaming).
  • CTOs needing to reduce the "Time to Market" of their development teams.

It is not the right option when

  • Static, internal systems or standard ERPs that do not require elastic scalability.
  • Companies without the budget or patience to rewrite/refactor parts of their code.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When does it NOT make sense to modernise?

If your current app has predictable traffic, you don't need to deploy multiple times a day, and the team is comfortable maintaining it, the re-engineering cost might not pay off. In those cases, classic Cloud Maintenance or Lift & Shift is a better choice.

Who writes the new application code?

Nubyron does not develop business logic (Backend/Frontend). We design the architecture, containerise, configure the Cloud, and guide you on how to refactor your code (e.g., state management, env vars) to fit the new model.

Can we do this without users noticing the change?

Yes. We use advanced routing techniques (like the Strangler Pattern). We can route a controlled portion of traffic to the new system, validate its behaviour and progressively increase exposure before retiring the legacy platform.

Do you own the new infrastructure?

No. All Terraform code, architectures, and workflows developed during the project are your complete intellectual property and deployed in your own Cloud account.

Is there something in your infrastructure that is not working as it should?

You don't need to know which service fits best. Tell us what you need to solve and we will see where to start.
