Managed cloud hosting with one accountable team

Your requirements decide it. Customer location sets the regions, and data-residency law can eliminate a provider outright. Existing enterprise agreements matter too, since many retailers already hold committed spend with one provider. scandiweb's deepest operating experience is on AWS, and the assessment models the monthly cost on each viable option before recommending one.

They stay in force until you decide otherwise. The assessment lists every contract with its renewal date, so moves are sequenced to land before you would otherwise re-sign. Where a contract still has months left, you let it expire on its own terms. The sequencing recommendation includes the option to stay where you are.

Most savings come from rightsizing instances that were provisioned for a peak years ago and never revisited. After that, the steady baseline moves onto reserved or committed capacity while auto-scaling absorbs the spikes. Storage tiers and idle non-production environments usually give up more than expected. Every change gets modeled against your real traffic first, and the headroom for peaks stays.

 Nobody can date a migration before reading the estate, so you get a sequence with target dates before any work is booked. Length comes down to how many storefronts move, and how much of each one's release process moves with it. Because storefronts go one at a time, the first is live and stable while later ones are still being scoped.

Yes, and for multi-brand groups it is often the right answer. One brand can stay on a provider its parent company has an agreement with while another sits where its customers are. What has to be shared is the operating model, so an alert from either brand lands with the engineers who already know both. Split infrastructure only hurts when it comes with split ownership.

An on-call scandiweb engineer, reached by a paging alert at any hour. Because the same engineers operate the servers and release the code onto them, nobody has to establish whose problem it is before work starts. Escalation paths and response expectations are agreed in the contract, and the incident write-up reaches you afterward with what changed to stop a repeat.

Two numbers decide it: what the cloud itself bills, and what the managed layer costs on top. You see the infrastructure figure first, built from the traffic your stores already handle, before any scope is agreed. The managed fee scales with the number of storefronts and the depth of release support each one takes. No price is put in front of you before that.
