Trampay: Fintech Platform Migration from Google Cloud to AWS

Trampay is a Brazilian fintech focused on the financial needs of delivery drivers and motorcycle couriers. Through the app, workers can open a free account, receive payments via Pix, pay bills, and access credit designed for their daily reality.

Currently, the platform serves over 58,000 active accounts, with R$191 million already advanced in credit and over R$2 billion moved in receipts and payments made directly within the Trampay ecosystem.

For companies and transport operators, Trampay acts as a financial layer of the mobility ecosystem, enabling payments, transfers, advances, benefits, and working capital flows, always focused on operational simplicity, great user experience, and social impact.

Trampay needed to migrate its platform from Google Cloud to AWS while maintaining service stability throughout the transition. The existing environment had a broad set of production assets — 149 resources — including a Kubernetes-based application layer and multiple services that could not be migrated in a single cutover without significantly increasing operational risk.

The migration required careful planning and a solid networking foundation. Connectivity between environments needed to be established early to allow progressive service movement, validate behavior under near-production conditions, and reduce the risk of disruptions as workloads were transferred.

Elevata implemented a phased migration strategy designed to move workloads in a controlled manner while preserving operational continuity. The first step was defining the destination foundation on AWS and establishing connectivity between the two cloud environments, allowing services to be migrated gradually rather than in a complete switchover all at once.

At the container layer, workloads running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) were migrated to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This included building the cluster on AWS and aligning the platform with the networking, firewall, and routing standards required to support a stable production environment.

The migration also covered application services and their supporting components. The project addressed workloads that previously ran as 37 Cloud Functions, supporting a refactoring process when necessary, and introduced a clearer governance model through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, using a modular approach. In parallel, Elevata strengthened the security and operational posture of the AWS environment, including traffic protection with AWS WAF and database layer modernization using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for SQL workloads.

"Elevata's support in our infrastructure migration was essential. We managed not only to carry out a migration with zero impact on the end user, but also to arrive at a final environment that is more secure and more optimized than the previous one." Vitor Quaresma, CTO at Trampay.

After the migration, Trampay continued working with Elevata through Orbit, Elevata's flexible AWS support model, used for ongoing infrastructure and operations activities — such as monitoring improvements, alerts, and platform integrations — ensuring environment evolution without diverting the internal team's focus from product priorities.
