Keep the proof of concept focused
A strong POC should answer a small number of important questions clearly. It should not try to reproduce every edge case of your full production estate in the first pass.Good POC goals
- Prove that the target workload runs correctly on Nubis
- Measure performance, latency, and operator experience
- Validate networking, storage, and access-control assumptions
- Estimate cost and operational fit for a broader rollout
Suggested POC structure
Pick one representative workload
Choose a service that is meaningful enough to test the platform but small enough to migrate without heavy risk.
Define success criteria
Write down the exact outcomes that would make the POC a success, such as deployment time, latency, availability, or cost range.
Build in a dedicated project
Keep POC resources separate so the test stays easy to track, review, and clean up.
Example success checklist
- The workload launches cleanly on Nubis Compute
- Storage and backup behavior match expectations
- Network access is secure and easy to reason about
- Team access is correct for operators and developers
- Estimated monthly spend is acceptable for the intended scale
Next steps after a successful POC
- Expand the workload scope
- Plan a migration wave
- Establish production guardrails
- Involve support and finance stakeholders before cutover
