The Problem

Why AIDLC?

Faster delivery
Tens of dollars per feature, hours of elapsed time. Not weeks.

Built-in compliance
Every action audited. Every dollar attributed to an issue.

Institutional memory
The pipeline learns. The org's knowledge stops walking out the door.

Faster onboarding
New engineers ramp on a pipeline that already knows the codebase. 

A pipeline that improves
Each cycle's retro feeds the next cycle's configuration.

Humans stay in control
Agents propose. Humans approve. Every merge is gated.

Why AIDLC?

Migration & Modernization

Built for the cloud-native era

We don't just move your workloads, we transform them. Containers, microservices, managed services, and full observability from day one.

VMs → Containers Microservices Database modernization AWS Landing Zone OpenTelemetry AWS MAP

What makes us different

Modernization-first, not lift & shift

Every migration engagement is an opportunity to eliminate technical debt, unlock developer velocity, and build for scale. Click any pillar to explore.

VM → Container replatforming

Move off bare VMs onto EKS with proper orchestration, autoscaling, and workload isolation.

App modernization

.NET & Java apps restructured into distributed microservices not just updated versions.

Data & database modernization

Schema redesign, managed engines, and data model transformation via AWS MAP.

Managed messaging & events

Message queues migrated to Amazon SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and MSK.

Observability & OTel

Full OpenTelemetry instrumentation traces, metrics, logs wired to AWS-native tooling.

Enterprise landing zones

Multi-account AWS structure, security baselines, and compliance guardrails at scale.

  • Migration backlog
03

Migrate & Modernize

  • Containerization
  • Microservice decomp
  • DB migration & redesign
  • Messaging replatform
04

Optimize

  • Cost optimization
  • Performance tuning
  • SLO/SLA wiring
  • FinOps dashboards
Observability Standard

OpenTelemetry:
Baked in, not bolted on

We instrument every migrated workload with OpenTelemetry from day one, giving you vendor-neutral traces, metrics, and logs across your entire estate.
What we wire up on every engagement

Auto-instrumentation of .NET and Java services → ADOT collector sidecars on EKS → AWS X-Ray for distributed tracing → CloudWatch for metrics and logs → custom dashboards and SLO alerting. All traces, metrics, and logs flow through a single OTel pipeline, swap backends without re-instrumenting.

VM → Container replatforming

Move off bare VMs onto EKS with proper orchestration, autoscaling, and workload isolation.

Custom metrics

Business and technical KPIs exported via OTel metrics SDK to CloudWatch and Managed Prometheus.

Structured logging

JSON-structured logs with trace correlation IDs, shipped to CloudWatch Logs Insights.

SLO alerting

Composite alarms and SLO burn-rate alerts wired from day one not as an afterthought.

Before & After

What changes in your architecture

Before
Monolithic .NET / Java app on VMs
After
Containerized microservices on EKS
Before
Self-managed relational DB on EC2
After
Amazon Aurora / RDS with redesigned schema

On-prem RabbitMQ / ActiveMQ
After
Amazon SQS / MSK / EventBridge
Before
No distributed tracing or correlation
After
Full OTel traces, metrics, and logs

After
AWS Control Tower multi-account with guardrails
Before
Manual deployments, no CI/CD
After
GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD / CodePipeline
Enterprise Scale

AWS Landing Zone & multi-account governance

Security and compliance are not a phase, they are the foundation. We deploy enterprise-grade account structures that satisfy the most demanding regulatory requirements.

FAQ

What's the core offering?

AWS migration and modernization, not lift-and-shift, but containers, microservices, managed databases, and full observability from day one.

What's their delivery process?

Four AWS MAP-aligned phases: Assess (discovery, TCO, dependency mapping), Mobilize (landing zone, CI/CD, OTel baseline), Migrate & modernize (containerization, microservices, DB/messaging migration), Optimize (cost, performance, SLOs, FinOps).

How is observability handled?

OpenTelemetry baked in from day one. Auto-instrumentation flows into ADOT collectors on EKS, then X-Ray tracing, then CloudWatch metrics and logs, then custom dashboards and SLO alerting.

What changes architecturally?

VMs become EKS containers, self-managed DBs become Aurora/RDS, RabbitMQ/ActiveMQ becomes SQS/MSK/EventBridge, a single AWS account becomes Control Tower multi-account, and manual deploys become GitOps (ArgoCD/CodePipeline).

What governance is included?

Control Tower landing zone, Security Hub/GuardDuty/Config baselines, IAM Identity Center, hub-spoke VPC networking, FinOps cost governance, and compliance-as-code.

What results do clients get?

60-80% cost reduction, 10x faster deployments, 99.9%+ availability, and under 5 minute MTTR.

How do you start?

A two-week, no-obligation Migration Readiness Assessment aligned to AWS MAP.
