Cloud Migration Providers: Comparing Systems Integrators, Dev Shops, and Self-Service Platforms
Blog post from Qovery
Cloud migration can be delivered through large systems integrators, staff-augmentation dev shops, or self-service PaaS-native platforms, with the appropriate choice depending on project scale, ownership, architecture readiness, and compliance needs. Integrators such as IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, Rackspace, and Kyndryl are positioned for long-term, highly regulated enterprise transformations involving legacy systems and multiple business units, but may introduce substantial costs, procurement requirements, and coordination overhead. Staff augmentation provides external engineers under an internal team’s technical direction, making it suitable for organizations with an established migration roadmap that need added capacity while retaining responsibility for outcomes. Self-service platforms such as Qovery offer a governed deployment layer in a customer’s AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure account, allowing teams to move containerized applications from Heroku, Render, or ECS using existing Dockerfiles or Procfiles without fully rebuilding their platforms. The article recommends assessing estate complexity, internal leadership capacity, required application modernization, and the sustainable operating model rather than selecting a provider solely based on cloud destination.
