Absolutely. We specialize in 'Lift and Shift' strategies that move your application to containerized serverless (AWS Fargate) or fully native Lambda functions. We ensure no downtime during the transition and immediately optimize for cost.

**Real cost comparison for a typical startup:** **Traditional Hosting:** • VPS/Server: $100-500/month (24/7 whether you use it or not) • Database: $50-200/month • CDN: $20-50/month • **Total: $170-750/month minimum** **Serverless with Us:** • AWS Lambda: $0-20/month (pay only for actual usage) • DynamoDB/RDS: $10-50/month • S3 + CloudFront: $5-15/month • **Total: $15-85/month** **That's $1,000-8,000 saved in your first year!** **Why the huge difference?** With serverless, you only pay when your code runs. No users = $0 cost. Traditional servers charge you even when nobody's using your app. **Want to see your potential savings?** Contact us for a free cost analysis of your current or planned infrastructure.

For 95% of startups, yes. With a VPS (like EC2), you pay for 24/7 uptime even if no one visits your site at 3 AM. With serverless (Lambda/Fargate), you pay $0.00 when traffic is zero. We often see cost reductions of 60-90% for variable workloads.

Serverless doesn't mean no servers exist; it means you don't have to manage them. For startups, this translates to zero upfront infrastructure costs (pay only for usage), infinite scalability from day one, and 80% less time spent on DevOps. You focus on your product logic, and AWS handles the rest.
