AWS Migration Roadmap and Data Acceleration for Startups

Overview Startups building on AWS without a structured assessment and roadmap risk architectural debt, cost overruns, and missed AI and data opportunities from day one. Adastra's AWS migration assessment and Data Acceleration Program delivers a comprehensive current state discovery across infrastructure, applications, and databases, a future state architecture aligned to business goals, and a prioritized roadmap for building net new workloads on AWS, including a cost analysis using the AWS cost calculator.

Approach Adastra works with the client to understand their business, application, and technical environments through structured discovery, including server, application, and database inventory gathering and required AWS tooling identification. Following current state discovery, Adastra conducts future state sessions including an Art of the Possible workshop covering relevant AWS use cases and how to get started, and an ideation session to confirm business stakeholder priorities and use cases. An AWS cost calculator analysis is completed as part of the future state discovery phase.
