Cloud Migration

Cloud Migration Services

Move your application to the cloud with zero downtime and full confidence.

Migrating to the cloud — or between providers — is one of the highest-risk operations a technical team performs. Done wrong, it means downtime, data loss, and weeks of cleanup. Done right, it's a planned, tested, rehearsed process that goes live in a maintenance window and works on the first try. We do it right.

Why Migrations Fail (And How We Prevent It)

Most migration failures share common patterns: missing dependencies discovered mid-migration, database connections hard-coded to old server IPs, forgotten cron jobs and background workers, SSL certificates that expire hours after cutover, and DNS TTLs that weren't lowered beforehand.

Our migration process starts with a comprehensive audit: every service, dependency, cron job, external integration, and configuration file is documented before a single change is made. We build a dependency map, identify risks, and create a migration runbook that accounts for each one.

The Migration Process

We follow a structured migration process: Audit → Provision → Configure → Migrate Data → Parallel Test → Cutover → Verify → Decommission. Each phase has defined completion criteria before proceeding to the next.

The parallel test phase is critical: new infrastructure runs alongside old for a period where you can verify behavior, run load tests, and build confidence before cutting over DNS. When the cutover happens, it's a single DNS change that's been rehearsed and can be reverted in seconds if anything is wrong.

Self-Hosted to Cloud and Back

We migrate in both directions. Some clients are moving from expensive shared hosting to a $6/month Hetzner VPS with Docker. Others are moving off AWS back to self-hosted infrastructure to cut costs. Many are moving from one cloud provider to another for performance or pricing reasons.

We also perform cloud-to-cloud migrations: consolidating multiple client VMs onto a single Proxmox host, moving from AWS to a mix of Cloudflare + DigitalOcean, or migrating from legacy cPanel hosting to a modern Docker-based setup.

Plan your migration before it becomes an emergency.

Whether you're moving to the cloud, between providers, or consolidating infrastructure, we'll plan it properly.
