Cloud-Native Refactoring for High-Stakes Web Platforms

Cloud-Native Refactoring for High-Stakes Web Platforms in Dubai

Turn fragile, legacy or monolithic web systems into resilient, cloud-native platforms engineered for performance, security and growth. Stralya refactors your critical applications with a fixed-price, outcome-driven approach – so your project actually crosses the finish line.

Service scope

What Our Cloud-Native Refactoring Service Includes

Cloud-native refactoring with Stralya is a comprehensive, end-to-end service tailored to organisations that rely on complex, business-critical web platforms. Whether you operate a high-traffic marketplace, a corporate portal, an internal line-of-business system or a government platform, we design a modernisation path that fits your risk profile and growth ambitions.

Core components of the engagement

Optional add-ons

Every refactoring project is different. Before we commit, we invest time in understanding your context, constraints and objectives. If we believe the scope is unclear or the risks are not acceptable, we will not move forward until we can guarantee a controlled, realistic plan. This is how we protect both your investment and our promise: your project will cross the finish line.

Key Benefits for Digital Leaders in Dubai

Scalability that matches Dubai’s growth pace

Handle traffic peaks, new markets and ambitious digital initiatives without re-building from scratch. Cloud-native architectures scale horizontally and adapt to your evolving business models.

Reduced operational risk and downtime

Modern deployment strategies, observability and recovery mechanisms significantly lower the risk of outages. Your teams gain visibility and control over how the platform behaves in production.

Optimised infrastructure costs

By right-sizing resources, using managed services and eliminating waste, we help you control and predict cloud spending while improving performance and reliability.

Stronger security and compliance posture

Refactoring is an opportunity to close security gaps, standardise configurations and align with international and regional standards relevant to the UAE market.

Empowered internal teams

Clean architecture, automation and clear documentation make it easier for your own engineers to maintain, extend and innovate on top of the refactored platform.

How we work

A Structured, Low-Risk Path to Cloud-Native

Cloud refactoring is too critical to improvise. Stralya follows a rigorous, step-by-step process that protects your business continuity while unlocking the full benefits of cloud-native architectures. Every phase is documented, validated with your stakeholders, and aligned with measurable outcomes in performance, reliability and cost.

We start with a deep audit of your existing systems, codebase, infrastructure and business constraints. We map dependencies, identify quick wins and high-risk areas, and align with your strategic priorities in the UAE and GCC context.

We define the future architecture on AWS, Azure or GCP: microservices or modular monolith, databases, APIs, messaging, observability, security and compliance. You receive clear diagrams, a migration strategy and an implementation roadmap.

We refactor your application in controlled iterations: extracting services, modernising components, optimising data flows and introducing cloud-native capabilities. We keep your existing platform operational while new pieces are rolled out safely.

We apply rigorous testing (unit, integration, end-to-end, load and security testing) to validate behaviour, performance and resilience. We fine-tune resources and configurations to reach your agreed SLAs and cost objectives.

We orchestrate a controlled go-live, with rollback strategies and 24/7 monitoring in the initial phase. Your teams receive documentation, runbooks and handover sessions so they can operate and evolve the new cloud-native platform confidently.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

A lift-and-shift migration moves your existing application to the cloud with minimal changes. It is fast, but it usually keeps the same limitations: poor scalability, high maintenance, and limited resilience. Cloud-native refactoring, on the other hand, restructures your application to fully leverage cloud capabilities: modular architecture, autoscaling, managed services, observability and DevOps practices. It is more strategic and delivers long-term value instead of just changing hosting providers.

Yes. For most projects, we design an incremental refactoring and migration strategy that keeps your current platform running while new components are introduced gradually. We use techniques such as blue–green deployments, feature flags, shadow traffic and phased cutovers to minimise or eliminate downtime. If a short maintenance window is required, it is planned and communicated well in advance.

We work primarily with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, depending on your existing ecosystem, compliance requirements and strategic preferences. Our team is experienced with multi-region deployments, data residency constraints in the Middle East and hybrid scenarios where part of the system remains on-premise or in a private cloud.

Our preferred model is fixed-price, based on a detailed scope and architecture defined during the assessment phase. We break the project into clear milestones with deliverables and acceptance criteria. This gives you cost predictability and aligns our incentives with successful delivery. For very large or evolving programmes, we may combine fixed-price phases with selective expert staff augmentation.

Yes. Project rescue is one of Stralya’s core strengths. We frequently step in when previous vendors have left unstable, half-migrated or poorly documented systems. We start by stabilising the current platform, then re-assess the technical and architectural decisions, and propose a realistic plan to bring the project back on track with clear responsibilities and timelines.
