The Cloud Migration Checklist We Use With Every Client

David Okafor · April 22, 2026 · 8 min read

The steps that separate a smooth migration from a six-month fire drill.

At Ayat Technologies, we work with teams navigating exactly this kind of decision every week. The right answer rarely comes from following whatever's trending — it comes from understanding your constraints: team size, timeline, existing systems, and what “done” actually needs to look like for your users.

Start with constraints, not preferences

It's tempting to pick tools based on what's exciting to build with. But the projects that stay maintainable years later are the ones where the stack was chosen to fit the team and the problem, not the other way around.

Where this shows up in practice

We've seen this play out across dozens of engagements — the details differ, but the underlying principle holds: make decisions you can defend to your future team, not just to yourself today.
