Modernization Blueprint Methodology (4 Weeks)

This methodology was developed through past consulting engagements and is shared for educational purposes.

A fast, artifact-based plan to modernize legacy platforms to GCP with measurable reliability, observability, and cost improvements. No rewrites required.

Who it’s for

Teams under pressure from latency, incidents, or rising cloud bills who need a clear, low-risk path from current state to a stable, observable, cost-controlled platform.

What you get (deliverables)

• Target Architecture on GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Terraform)
• Migration Map: carve-outs, sequence, and blast-radius limitations
• Cost Model & Guardrails: SKUs, sizing, lifecycle, quotas, budgets
• SLO/SLI Design: golden signals, targets, alert policy, runbooks
• Risk Register & Rollback: failure modes, error budgets, canaries
• 90-Day Jira-Ready Backlog: owner, effort, impact, dependencies

How it works (week-by-week)

Week 1 - Discovery (no PII)

• Inputs: architecture diagrams, IaC, billing exports (CUR/BigQuery), incident summaries, team interviews
• Outputs: problem framing; success metrics; constraints

Week 2 - Target Design

• Service decomposition / hot-path isolation
• Data platform layout (landing -> curated -> serving); partitioning/cluster strategy
• Observability baseline (OTel/Datadog dashboards)

Week 3 - Cost & SLOs

• Cost model with right-sizing and retention policies
• SLI/SLO definitions + alert policy; synthetic probes

Week 4 - Plan & Backlog

• Migration steps, guardrails, rollout risks
• 90-day backlog + presentation to leadership

Historical Pricing & Terms

Note: Historical pricing for reference only - not currently available

€6-10k depending on scope depth. EU-only processing. Privacy-first by default.
Implementation support was available as a follow-on engagement in past engagements.
