Here are my notes based on my experience of moving the complex on-prem(private cloud) stack to the public cloud. It needs a lion’s heart to ‘Lift-and-Shift’ a complex application generating millions in revenue. If it’s a public company, then double that.

What is Lift-and-Shift?

Lift-and-shift is the process of migrating your SaaS application from On-prem/Data-center to the public cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), without changing the core functionality of your application.
