Turn your scored roadmap into pipeline artifacts your engineers can implement.
The gap between roadmap and implementation is where modernization programs stall
Scored assessments and architecture diagrams do not deploy themselves. Engineering teams need implementation-ready artifacts, not strategy decks.
Converting a consultant's roadmap into Jira epics, IaC templates, and runbooks is itself a multi-month effort that delays the actual migration.
Each wave requires CI/CD configuration, test environment provisioning, and rollback scripting — manual work that compounds across a multi-wave program.
When migration runbooks are written during execution rather than from the estate map, they reflect assumptions — not the actual dependency order and rollback requirements of the workloads being moved.
Generate IaC templates directly from the target architecture. saasups produces Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK templates for each workload's AWS target configuration — based on the scored 7 R's recommendation and the FinOps-optimized service selection — so engineers start from a generated baseline, not a blank file.
Produce wave runbooks from the dependency-ordered roadmap. Migration runbooks are generated from the estate dependency map and wave sequence — including pre-cutover validation steps, dependency cutover order, rollback checkpoints, and post-migration smoke test requirements.
Deliver CI/CD configuration stubs for every migration wave. saasups generates pipeline configuration stubs for the CI/CD platform your team uses, including build, test, deploy, and rollback stages — so pipeline setup is a configuration review, not a build from scratch.
Pipeline automation built from estate data, not templates
IaC generation from target architecture
Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK templates are generated per workload from the scored modernization recommendation and FinOps-optimized AWS service configuration — not from generic patterns.
Dependency-ordered migration runbooks
Wave runbooks are produced from the estate dependency map, specifying cutover order, pre-cutover validation steps, rollback checkpoints, and post-migration verification requirements for each workload in the wave.
CI/CD pipeline configuration stubs
Pipeline configuration stubs for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline are generated per wave — covering build, test, deploy, and rollback stages.
Rollback and contingency planning
saasups generates rollback procedures and contingency runbooks for each migration wave based on the dependency graph — so rollback is planned before migration begins, not improvised during an incident.
How saasups migration pipeline automation works
saasups pipeline artifacts are generated from three upstream inputs: the estate dependency map, the 7 R's scored roadmap, and the FinOps cost model. The dependency map provides the workload inventory and dependency order. The scored roadmap provides the target modernization strategy and AWS service selection. The cost model provides the rightsized service configurations.
IaC templates are generated per workload using the target AWS service configuration from the FinOps model. For a Replatform recommendation to ECS, the generated template covers the ECS cluster, task definition, service configuration, and associated IAM roles. For a Rehost recommendation to EC2, it covers instance type, EBS volume configuration, and security group baseline. Templates are generated in the IaC format your team uses.
Migration runbooks are produced per wave from the dependency-ordered workload sequence. Each runbook specifies the pre-cutover validation checklist, the dependency cutover order within the wave, rollback checkpoint triggers, and post-migration smoke test requirements. CI/CD pipeline stubs are generated alongside runbooks so the pipeline setup is a review exercise rather than a blank-sheet build.
