Architecture & Migration
Migrate observability platforms without turning cost reduction into operational risk
SabNexis helps organizations compare target architectures and execute controlled migrations using phased delivery, parallel run, measurable validation and explicit rollback criteria.
The problem with observability migration
A platform migration affects instrumentation, pipelines, storage, dashboards, alerts, incident response, compliance, team workflows and vendor commitments. A simple feature comparison is not enough to determine whether the migration is viable. This is particularly true for a Splunk exit, where the cost and architecture trade-offs across Datadog, Elastic and OpenSearch depend heavily on which workloads are actually being moved.
What we assess and design
- Current-state dependencies
- Target-architecture options
- Workload segmentation
- OpenTelemetry and pipeline strategy
- Data, dashboard and alert migration
- Retention and historical-data requirements
- Security and access control
- Performance and reliability criteria
- Parallel-run design
- Validation metrics
- Rollback plan
- Team ownership and handover
- Commercial and implementation sequencing
What you receive
- Migration business case
- Target architecture
- Dependency map
- Phased migration plan
- Validation and rollback framework
- Operational-readiness checklist
- Handover and governance model
Frequently asked questions
No. A phased migration with parallel validation is normally safer for production environments.
Yes. A hybrid architecture may be appropriate when different telemetry classes have different operational, security or economic requirements.
