About the Client
A leading agri-logistics technology company was modernizing its cloud infrastructure to support continued business growth and operational scalability. Running a diverse application ecosystem comprising SAP HANA integrations, Heroku-hosted services, and multiple database platforms, the organization required a structured migration strategy to transition from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
To meet project timelines while maintaining application integrity, the organization engaged Lauren Group to design and execute a migration strategy capable of supporting a complex, business-critical environment.
The Problem
- Requirement to migrate business-critical workloads from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to AWS within a defined project timeline

- Need to migrate MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL workloads while preserving application connectivity
- Requirement to maintain integration between core business applications throughout the migration process
- Need to minimize migration risk while supporting business continuity
- Requirement for secure connectivity between environments during migration activities
Our Approach
To support the client's cloud migration initiative, we:
- Designed a structured lift-and-shift migration strategy using AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)

- Planned migration activities to preserve application dependencies and integration between core systems
- Designed secure connectivity using AWS Client VPN to support migration activities
- Leveraged AWS Lambda to support application integrations and event-driven workflows
- Established a migration approach focused on minimizing disruption while supporting project timelines
