FAQ

Common questions from Charlotte teams

Can you help us modernize legacy banking systems without disrupting production?
Yes. We use proven patterns — strangler fig, event-driven APIs, and progressive migration — to modernize legacy banking platforms incrementally. Your mainframes keep running while we build modern Kubernetes microservices that gradually take over the business logic. No big-bang cutover required.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 5–10 business days. We start with a cloud audit, then move into sprint-based delivery.
Do we need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We offer month-to-month engagements and fixed-scope projects. Most clients start with a 90-day pilot.
Can you work alongside our existing platform team?
Yes. We embed with your existing Jira, Slack, GitHub, and CI tooling — extending your org's capabilities without disrupting the platform you've already built.
What does a typical engagement deliver?
A 90-day pilot produces a production-ready Kubernetes platform (or AI infrastructure stack), documented runbooks, a cost reduction baseline, compliance posture, and a handover plan. We measure outcomes, not effort.
