How much does it cost to engage WH Studio?

Engagements are scoped after a discovery call. Most projects begin with a fixed-scope proposal covering milestones, deliverables, and timeline.

How quickly can you start a new project?

Most projects can begin within one to two weeks once scope, timeline, and priorities are aligned.

Do you work with US startups and distributed product teams?

Yes. Projects are structured for US startups and globally distributed teams with clear communication windows and milestone-based delivery.

What is your development process?

Each engagement moves through discovery, architecture, UI implementation, backend delivery, testing, and launch support with clear documentation throughout.

How long does a cloud migration take?

A typical migration takes 2-4 months depending on complexity. Small applications (< 5 services) can be migrated in 4-6 weeks. Large enterprise systems may take 6-12 months. We use phased migrations to minimize disruption.

Will there be downtime during migration?

We implement zero-downtime migration strategies using blue-green deployments, database replication, and DNS switching. Most migrations achieve < 5 minutes of planned maintenance window.

What about data security during migration?

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We use VPN tunnels for migration traffic, implement access controls, and provide detailed audit logs. Compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA) are maintained throughout.

Which cloud provider should I choose?

AWS is best for flexibility and ecosystem. Azure excels for Microsoft integrations. Google Cloud leads in ML/AI and data analytics. We help you choose based on your specific needs, budget, and existing technology stack.

How much can I save by migrating to the cloud?

Most clients see 20-40% infrastructure cost reduction through right-sizing, reserved instances, and auto-scaling. Additional savings come from reduced DevOps overhead and faster deployment cycles.

What if something goes wrong during migration?

We maintain complete rollback plans at every stage. Your on-premise or current cloud infrastructure remains operational until migration is validated. We conduct 3-5 rollback drills before actual migration.

Do you migrate databases?

Yes, we migrate SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases. We use native migration tools (AWS DMS, Azure Database Migration) with schema conversion and data validation.

Can you migrate from one cloud to another?

Absolutely. We handle AWS-to-Azure, Azure-to-GCP, and all other combinations. Multi-cloud migrations require careful architecture planning to avoid vendor lock-in and maintain service parity.

What about application refactoring?

We assess whether to lift-and-shift or refactor. Lift-and-shift is fastest (4-6 weeks) but may not leverage cloud benefits. Refactoring to cloud-native (8-12 weeks) enables better scalability and cost optimization.

Do you provide post-migration support?

Yes, all migrations include 30-90 days of post-migration support. We monitor performance, optimize costs, train your team, and address any issues. Extended support packages available starting at $3K/month.

Field notes

A cloud migration that doesn't melt your team.

Most cloud migrations underestimate two things: the data layer and the operational learning curve. We run migrations in waves — lowest-risk workloads first, with reversible cutovers — so the team builds confidence with the new platform before the revenue-critical systems move.

Discovery and risk mapping

Before a single workload moves, we inventory the current footprint, map dependencies, classify each workload by migration risk, and identify the three or four workloads that should never leave on-prem. A clear map of "what stays, what lifts, what re-platforms, what re-architects" eliminates 80% of mid-migration surprises.

Cost governance from day zero

Cloud bills double every 18 months at companies that don't actively govern them. We tag every resource at provisioning time, set per-team budget alerts, right-size on a weekly cadence, and split reserved/spot capacity for predictable savings. The full discipline lives in our cloud DevOps best practices guide.

Operational handover, not a thrown-over-the-wall

A migration we run ends with runbooks your on-call engineers can actually use, dashboards they actually read, and a four-week shadow period where we sit on incidents with the team. The platform sticks because the people stick to it.
