Gurram, Abhyudaya (2025) Modernizing legacy enterprise platforms: A cloud-native migration case study. Global Journal of Engineering and Technology Advances, 23 (1). pp. 376-389. ISSN 2582-5003

A large financial services enterprise undertook a transformative cloud-native migration journey to modernize its legacy platform. The initiative encompassed comprehensive assessment phases, strategic planning, and systematic implementation across infrastructure, applications, and security domains. The migration successfully addressed critical challenges including scalability limitations, technical debt, and operational inefficiencies. Through careful orchestration of cloud technologies, microservices architecture, and DevOps practices, the organization achieved substantial improvements in deployment frequency, system reliability, and customer satisfaction. The modernization effort not only enhanced technical capabilities but also strengthened market competitiveness and talent retention while establishing a foundation for continuous innovation.
