Groots offers startups a fantastic starting point. We tried a number of vendors, but we are grateful for Groots’ support for getting AWS credit and granting an extension, both of which support the expansion and continuity of our business. Their knowledge is helpful in AWS service management as well.

Our application's migration to Amazon EKS changed everything for us; Groots redesigned our entire setup and assumed responsibility for observability. Our capacity to meet growing customer demand and expedite our product roadmap has been directly impacted by the significant reduction in operational overhead related to managing individual EC2 instances, as well as enhanced scalability and cost efficiency.

FAQ

AWS Activate is a startup program by Amazon Web Services that gives eligible startups cloud credits, technical support, training, and tools to help you build, scale, and optimize on AWS. With Groots as an AWS Activate Provider / Scout partner, we help you access these benefits faster, guide you in choosing proper architectures, and optimize costs as you grow.

  • You (the startup) apply through Groots as an AWS Activate partner. We assist with the application, verification of eligibility, etc.
  • Once approved, credits & tools are activated—this might take a few business days depending on verification, documentation, etc.
  • Credit validity, usage, and support follow AWS’s standard policy + any conditions specific to your region or program via Groots.

Migrating to AWS allows startups to modernize infrastructure, reduce operational costs, and scale applications globally. With AWS’s pay-as-you-go model and services like EC2, RDS, and S3, you can move away from heavy CapEx investments into a flexible, optimized cloud setup that supports faster innovation.

Yes. Credits from AWS Activate can offset eligible service costs like EC2, RDS, and data transfer during migration. However, some third-party tools, premium support, or marketplace licenses may not be covered. We guide you in aligning credit usage with your migration plan to maximize value.

Migration timelines vary based on workload complexity, data volumes, and migration strategy. A small Dev/UAT migration can take a few days, while a production-grade multi-service migration may take weeks. At Groots, we recommend a phased approach—start with Dev/UAT, validate stability, then migrate production with minimal downtime.

  • Lower infrastructure costs via AWS’s pricing models (on-demand, Savings Plans, Spot).
  • Better performance and reliability through multi-AZ deployments.
  • Enhanced observability with CloudWatch and tools like CloudNetra (Groots’ AWS observability platform).
  • Security and compliance alignment with CIS, SOC2, and startup-friendly practices.
How does Groots help with cloud migration?
  • Assessing your current environment (Azure, GCP, on-prem, or hybrid).
  • Designing the target AWS architecture with security, scalability, and cost optimization in mind.
  • Executing phased migrations (Dev/UAT first, then Production).
  • Post-migration support, including monitoring, cost control, and compliance.
