The Migration Takes 2 Weeks. Deciding to Do It Takes 6 Months. (Webinar Replay)

A Qovery webinar replay argues that cloud-migration delays are driven more by organizational decision-making than by technical execution, estimating that technical work accounts for roughly 20% of a migration while planning, risk concerns, staffing, trust, and perceived value consume the rest. It identifies five common blockers: migrations feeling irreversible, limited internal capacity, fear of unfamiliar technologies, benefits that are not immediately visible, and uncertainty about vendors or service providers. Two anonymized customer examples illustrate this pattern, with decisions taking seven to twelve weeks while implementation took between an afternoon for staging and five days to a week for production. The session recommends reducing hesitation by keeping the existing stack available as a fallback, testing a target environment cheaply through a pilot or staging deployment, migrating in waves with databases moved last, and evaluating the cost of postponement. It also presents Qovery’s AI-assisted platform as a tool for automating discovery, planning, infrastructure setup, and deployment, while maintaining human approval for critical steps such as cutovers and database migrations.
