On-Premise to AWS Migration for an Agri Tech Business
Company Overview
The client is a fast-growing AgriTech firm founded in 2012. They develop crop nutrients, microbes, and solutions to aid farmers and food buyers. Their monolith app on-prem could not keep up with rising demand. The client wanted a modern, scalable platform. They turned to TeleGlobal for help with AWS migration and cloud infrastructure.
Business Challenge
Their monolith app ran on local servers. It lacked flexibility for seasonal spikes and had high maintenance costs. The infrastructure was rigid, hard to update, and slow to scale.
They needed a modern platform that offered:
Fast scaling
Lower cost
Better security
Ease of updates
Strong DevOps workflows
Migration Strategy
Teleglobal planned a smooth lift-and-shift to AWS using a phased migration:
Map on-prem components to AWS services:
Legacy DNS → Route 53
Firewall → AWS WAF
Load balancer → Elastic Load Balancer
Networking → Amazon VPC
Hypervisor → Amazon EKS
Files and storage → EBS, EFS, S3
Database → Amazon RDS
Cloud setup for dev/test:
CloudFormation to build VPC, subnets, NAT, and routing.
Docker images pushed to AWS ECR.
EKS clusters run app containers.
Jenkins handles CI/CD pipelines.
Security via Kubernetes Roles and ConfigMap/Secrets.
Exposed services using Ingress with Application Load Balancer.
Autoscaling via HPA and Cluster Autoscaler.
Built a GitOps flow with ArgoCD and GitLab for fast, secure releases.
Migration Benefits
The AWS model unlocked key wins:
AWS scalability allowed on-demand resource changes during seasonal demand.
Autoscaling made supply align with usage, saving costs.
AWS migration lowered maintenance work.
Global access meant teams and partners work from anywhere with low latency.
Built-in tools like IAM and encryption enhanced security.
On-demand infrastructure reduced upfront capex.
Business Impact
After migration, the client saw:
Faster testing and deployment cycles.
More resilient uptime during harvest seasons.
Lower monthly infrastructure costs.
Improved crop data processing and app performance across regions.
Pay-as-you-go billing cut waste and enabled cost control.
Conclusion
This case shows how moving from legacy servers to AWS transforms AgriTech platforms. With Teleglobal’s migration expertise, the client gained scalable systems, robust security, and better agility. They now serve farmers and agronomists with a modern, cloud-ready platform.
For AgriTech and beyond, AWS migration unlocks growth and efficiency. TeleGlobal helps make that move smart, safe, and cost-effective.
