Tencent Cloud announced on Friday that Indonesian telco XLSmart has completed a large-scale migration of its operations to Tencent’s public cloud platform as part of its long-term digital modernization strategy.

The large-scale operation – which took four and a half months to complete – seamlessly migrated 1,200 microservices, 1,100 APIs, and 900 business interfaces, securely transitioning over 15 TB of core data assets, with zero down time.

XLSmart launched the project in December 2025 as part of its post-merger strategy, which presented serious technical hurdles, with more than 60 core applications and 1,200 microservices scattered across fragmented multi-cloud platforms, which impeded unified operations and management. Meanwhile, the majority of the target applications – split across over ten third-party vendors – required a complete redesign or rebuild.

Consequently, XLSmart rejected a superficial 'lift-and-shift' approach in favour of a comprehensive architectural audit to determine what to retain, modify, or optimize.

Instead of confining AI to isolated tasks, Tencent Cloud said it integrated AI capabilities across every phase of the project, including service discovery, architecture design, environment deployment, migration cutover, and system monitoring. Utilizing tools like TokenHub, Tencent’s coding agent CodeBuddy, and AI agent workspace WorkBuddy, tasks that typically require months of manual labor were compressed into weeks or days.

Tencent Cloud said that its AI capabilities boosted the migration team’s overall efficiency significantly, from resource discovery to final cutover.

During the process, Tencent Cloud developed over 20 cloud migration "Skills", said said Poshu Yeung, senior VP of Tencent Cloud and head of Tencent Cloud International, in a statement. "This batch of cloud migration Skills has now been consolidated into a reusable migration platform, which will be continuously applied and refined in subsequent projects.”

“This project is more than a cloud migration. It establishes a stronger digital foundation that enables XLSMART to innovate faster, improve operational resilience, and continuously enhance customer experience,” said Yessie D. Yosetya, XLSmart’s director and chief information technology officer.
