LiftAndShift Replatform

Moving a system to new infrastructure with minimal changes (lift-and-shift) vs adapting it to the new platform's idioms (replatform).

Why we need this / what value this brings

Lift-and-shift gets you off old infra fast with minimal risk; replatforming gets you the new platform's benefits but takes longer and risks more.

When to use this

Lift-and-shift under time pressure; replatform when there's room to actually benefit from the new platform's idioms.

How to use or implement this

Mostly relevant if Localz ever migrates hosting providers — not an immediate concern.

Research questions

  • Mostly AWS SAA-C03 exam vocabulary — relevant to Localz only if it ever moves off its current hosting.
