Traditional migrations move your problems to the cloud. Moonshot Migrations use agentic AI to rebuild your application from the ground up - purpose-built, cloud-native, and yours to own.
The Problem with Traditional Migration
The industry loves the 7R's framework - Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain, Relocate. But most migrations land on rehost or replatform: moving the same application, with the same architecture, the same tech debt, and the same vendor lock-in to a new address.
The result? You pay cloud costs on top of legacy license fees. You inherit years of accumulated complexity. You preserve the vendor lock-in that was holding you back in the first place.
Migration without transformation is just a more expensive way to stay stuck.
What Makes a Moonshot Different
| Traditional Migration | Moonshot Migration | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Move existing apps to cloud | Rebuild from scratch with agents | |
| Tech debt | Inherited | Eliminated | |
| Timeline | 6-18 months | 4-12 weeks | |
| Vendor lock-in | Often preserved | Eliminated - you own the code | |
| Cost trajectory | License + cloud costs compound | One-time build + low hosting | |
| Customization | Limited by original architecture | Unlimited - purpose-built | |
| AI-native | Retrofitted | Built-in from day one |
Traditional Migration vs Moonshot
Traditional migrations take 6-18 months to move the same broken app. Moonshot migrates your data and rebuilds the entire application from scratch using agentic AI.
