Run the analyzer on a single resource (POST /), preview a hypothetical shape (POST /simulate), or POST /run-all to score every priced workload your tenant has. Storage cost is included by default.

Migration Analyzer
An evidence-based migration calculator that maps services across AWS, GCP and Azure, models 5-year TCO under realistic discounts, and produces a per-workload risk score — so the cross-cloud conversation runs on numbers, not slides.

How it works
Three steps. No agents. No surprises.

Score the move
Each candidate gets a confidence tier (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW), risk flags from an 11-value enum (CROSS_REGION_LATENCY, EGRESS_HEAVY, EGRESS_FLIPS_SAVINGS, COMMITMENT_AMORTIZATION_UNKNOWN, COMMITMENT_EXPIRES_SOON, PRICE_DATA_STALE, SPECIALISED_HARDWARE …) and the cost with and without your tenant commitments.

Read the honesty banner
The UI ships a permanent disclaimer (HonestyBanner component) about RIs/Savings Plans, egress and migration effort — the same items the risk flags codify. Treat the number as a starting point, not an answer.

What's inside
An evidence-based migration calculator that maps services across AWS, GCP and Azure, models 5-year TCO under realistic discounts, and produces a per-workload risk score — so the cross-cloud conversation runs on numbers, not slides.
01
From RDS to Cloud SQL — and what breaks
We map every managed service to its closest counterpart on the target cloud and flag feature gaps that will need engineering effort (e.g. cross-region replicas, IAM-DB auth, automated minor version upgrade).
02
Egress is the silent killer
We model the egress traffic generated by your top 200 chatty workloads (joined to actual VPC flow logs) — so a migration TCO doesn't fall apart in month 3.
03
Risk score per workload
0–100 score combining service-API parity, data-gravity, compliance constraints and team familiarity. Use it to phase the migration — easy stuff first, the gnarly bits last.
Capabilities
Everything you need on day one.
- AWS bundled + live (Pricing API)
- GCP bundled + live (Cloud Billing)
- Azure live (Retail Prices API)
- OCI compute + storage
- 3 confidence tiers (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW)
- 11 risk flags including egress + commitments
- Tenant commitments (RIs / SPs / CUDs) factored in
- Permanent honesty disclaimer in UI
Before vs after Lumicost
Night and day.
Without Lumicost
- Vendor calculator quotes a flat 'save 40%'
- Existing RIs / SPs ignored in the math
- Egress savings vanish 90 days post-migration
With Lumicost
- Confidence tier + 11 risk flags surfaced
- Tenant commitments factored in (v2)
- EGRESS_FLIPS_SAVINGS flag rings before you commit
Where teams use it
Three ways teams put it to work.
Replace a $300K consultancy report
Run the same analysis a Big-4 firm would charge USD 100K–300K for, on demand, on your own data.
Vendor-leverage prep
Walk into the next AWS/GCP/Azure renewal with a credible alternative TCO in hand.
Disaster recovery planning
Use the same engine to score how realistic a multi-cloud DR plan is for your stack.
From the field
“A migration estimate that hides what it ignores is a sales tool, not an engineering tool. The honesty banner is non-removable on purpose.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the analysis touch production?
No. It runs purely against billing exports, IaC, flow logs and metadata you already export.
What discounts are modelled?
EDP / PPA on AWS, committed-use discounts on GCP, EA on Azure, plus public list price as floor. You can override with your actual rate card.
