Backstage - AWS Cloud Merger & Migration Case Study

Led Backstage's StarNow & Mandy migration into AWS with Terraform, reducing time by 25% and boosting legacy system integration by 30%

TaylorMade Software led the IT architecture for Backstage's integration of StarNow's applications and infrastructure into a unified AWS environment. This high-stakes merger involved critical data, legacy services, and customer-facing applications.

We analyzed and designed the migration of SQL Server databases, C#.NET APIs, and React/TypeScript apps into Backstage's AWS cloud, cutting the overall migration timeline by 25% and boosting integration efficiency by 30%.

In collaboration with senior DevOps and data teams, we scripted the Terraform-based provisioning of Rackspace VMs, MSSQL services, firewalls, and supporting systems. This accelerated infrastructure deployment by 20% and reduced deployment errors by 15%.

To ensure safe legacy decoupling, we implemented architectural patterns such as registry, adapter, reverse proxy, and unified data views. These strategies enabled iterative rollouts, increasing migration success by 40% and minimizing post-migration defects by 20%.
