Bank Cloud Migration without a Feature Freeze
Banks face costly legacy core systems that force a two‑year feature freeze when using traditional “Big Bang” cloud migrations. The freeze stalls product innovation and heightens compliance risk as regulators like DORA and PSD3 continue evolving. Upsun proposes a preview‑environment model that creates production‑grade sandboxes from Git branches, allowing banks to test and ship features continuously during migration. This approach promises modernized infrastructure without sacrificing market momentum or regulatory adherence.
