Cloud Sidecar: Enabling multi-cloud and cloud migration
Your company has built various data pipelines processing customer data. Your team wrote software in Scala, Go, and Python that runs on EC2 instances and utilizes S3 AND SQS. Some clients do not want any of their data on Amazon products, and they are asking you to use GCP for data processing. The engineering team has estimated several months to rewrite all of the software to handle S3 and SQS for AWS and GCS and PubSub for GCP. Luckily, with Cloud Sidecar they do not have to rewrite all of their code. The engineering teams just change a few lines of code, deploy the Cloud Sidecar along with your applications, and everything just works.
Your AWS bill is out of control. The CTO and CFO think switching to GCP will save money. However, the engineering cost is absurd. While your infrastructure is kubernetes and should be easy to migrate, you have polyglot microservices that would require a lot of work to migrate. Luckily, your team can save all of the work by simply deploying Cloud Sidecar next to your microservices.
