Cloud Migration Acceleration for a Mid-Market SaaS Company

The Challenge

A mid-market SaaS provider needed to migrate their legacy on-premise infrastructure to AWS within a hard 4-month deadline driven by a data center lease expiration. Their internal DevOps team of three engineers was fully committed to production operations and couldn't take on a migration of this scope. They needed a partner who could own the migration plan, provide the engineering capacity, and deliver on time — without disrupting production.

The Solution

Zenaide assembled a 5-person managed project team: 1 Cloud Architect (migration planning and design), 2 Cloud Engineers (execution and build-out), 1 DevOps Engineer (CI/CD pipeline migration and IaC), and 1 Project Manager (coordination and reporting). The team was assembled and onboarded within 3 weeks. Using an agile delivery approach with 2-week sprints, they migrated 47 services across 12 environments — including database migrations, networking redesign, and CI/CD pipeline refactoring. Throughout the engagement, the Zenaide team provided weekly status reports and biweekly stakeholder demos.

The Results

2 weeks
Delivered ahead of schedule
0
Production incidents during migration
30%
Infrastructure cost reduction in Q1 post-migration
2 weeks
Full knowledge transfer to internal team
We needed a team that could own this migration completely. Zenaide delivered a team that understood our architecture, moved fast, and handed off a production environment that was actually better than what we started with.

Production ML Team Assembled in 3 Weeks for GenAI Product Launch

The Challenge

A Series C enterprise software company had committed to launching an AI-powered document processing feature by the end of the quarter. Their internal engineering team had strong product and backend capabilities but zero production ML experience — no one who could build training pipelines, optimize inference latency, or deploy models to production. With 10 weeks to launch, they needed a full ML team immediately.

The Solution

Zenaide staffed a 4-person ML team within 3 weeks: 1 Senior ML Engineer (model architecture and training pipeline), 1 NLP Engineer (document understanding and extraction), 1 MLOps Engineer (inference infrastructure, CI/CD for models, monitoring), and 1 AI Engineer (LLM integration, RAG pipeline, and prompt engineering). All four had verified production ML experience and were placed on contract-to-hire terms. The team integrated with the client's existing engineering org and worked in their sprint cadence from day one.

The Results

3 weeks
From zero to full ML team
On time
Feature shipped by quarter-end
< 200ms
Inference latency in production
3 of 4
Contractors converted to full-time
We went from having no ML capability to shipping a production AI feature in under three months. Zenaide didn't just send us resumes — they sent us engineers who understood the difference between a demo and a production system.
