FAQ
What exactly is cloud consulting in software development?
Simply put: We help software teams get their applications ready for the cloud. Whether it’s microservices, serverless, or just a clean infrastructure – we advise, plan, and build systems together with you that scale, run reliably, and are future-proof.

How does migrating existing software solutions to the cloud work?
First, we analyze the existing architecture and identify possible migration paths. Then we plan a step-by-step migration depending on the starting point – for example through containerization, refactoring, or re-hosting. The goal is always a smooth transition with clear results and minimal operational disruptions.
Curious?Let's talk!
Which cloud platform is right for my software?
That depends entirely on what your software needs and what technologies you’re already using. We help you choose the right cloud platform – whether AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a European alternative. In some cases, a combination of multiple cloud platforms also makes sense.

How can cloud costs be optimized?
Cloud costs can often be significantly reduced by focusing on the right levers.
We help you analyze your infrastructure and usage, identify unused resources, and set up automatic scaling. Additionally, we show you how to lower your monthly operating costs by using reserved instances, spot instances, or cost-efficient storage classes. It’s important to continuously monitor optimization – so you avoid unexpected costs and use your budget optimally.

How does data protection and compliance work in the cloud?
Data protection and compliance are some of the most important aspects of any cloud migration. Together, we review the legal requirements for your industry and develop appropriate security concepts. This includes both technical measures and the right processes – ensuring your cloud infrastructure meets all standards and keeps you legally safe.
Curious?Let's talk!
How long does a cloud migration usually take?
That depends on how complex your existing systems are. Simple applications can often be moved to the cloud within a few weeks, while larger enterprise systems can take several months. After an initial check, we can provide a realistic timeline with clear milestones so you see early successes.
Curious?Let's talk!
Do you provide support after the migration?
Of course! Migration is just the first step. We offer different support packages – from occasional consulting to continuous monitoring. This way your cloud infrastructure stays stable long-term and you have a direct contact person for questions or new requirements.
Curious?Let's talk!
Can I start small with a pilot project?
Definitely! Pilot projects are often the best way to get started with the cloud. Together we select a suitable subproject to gain initial experience. This minimizes risk and gives you a feeling for how cloud migration works for you – before we tackle bigger projects.
Curious?Let's talk!
Can you help with acute performance problems?
Performance problems usually have various causes – from poorly configured infrastructure to inefficient software architecture. We conduct a thorough analysis, find bottlenecks, and develop both quick fixes and long-term solutions. Often, targeted adjustments already bring significant improvements.
Curious?Let's talk!
What do we do if my IT infrastructure reaches its limits?
Growth is a good problem to have! We look at exactly where the limits are and develop a cloud strategy that grows with you. Depending on the situation, we can expand existing systems or gradually migrate to the cloud – always tailored to your priorities and resources.
Curious?Let's talk!
What makes your cloud consulting different from others?
We rely on a pragmatic approach rather than theoretical concepts. Together with your team, we develop solutions that really fit your situation. We work with your existing developers and ensure genuine knowledge transfer – so you can continue independently after the project.
Curious?Let's talk!
Do you work with my existing IT team?
Absolutely! We work hand in hand with your team for shared success. Our goal is to make your developers and IT experts fit for the cloud. We bring cloud know-how and transfer it to your team – knowledge transfer is just as important to us as the technical implementation.
Curious?Let's talk!
Is there a free initial consultation?
Yes, we’re happy to review your current situation without obligation. In an initial conversation, we often clarify important questions and show you the possibilities. This way, you get a feel for whether collaboration is a good fit – with no risk.

What do you need to know about me for a first assessment?
The basics are enough for a start: What software and technologies do you use? What challenges are you currently facing? What are your goals? The more you tell us, the more targeted our help can be – but even with little info, we can already provide valuable input.
