Applications moved to the cloud via lift-and-shift often run slower due to architectural assumptions from on-premises data centers. Common causes include increased latency from database calls across availability zones, missing caching, inappropriate storage tiers, and misconfigured autoscaling.

Experts advise starting optimization by measuring end-to-end request latency to identify the true bottlenecks before making changes.
