I’m looking to partner with a cloud development company to modernize our infrastructure and applications. The scope may include cloud-native app development, migration from on-premises systems, multi-cloud or hybrid deployments, and integration with services like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Many companies in 2025 also offer expertise in serverless computing, container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), DevOps automation, AI/ML cloud integration, and compliance with standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or HIPAA. For those who have recently engaged a cloud development partner, what factors were most important technical expertise, security practices, scalability, cost optimization, or ongoing support? Any recommendations for companies that deliver robust, secure, and high-performance cloud solutions.
