Cloud Migration
You need to leave the current platform: your own servers, an old CMS, Heroku, a single region, or a specific vendor. Wave-by-wave migration with a tested rollback at every cutover, whether the move is one app or a hundred.
Migrations succeed when there's a believable rollback at every step and a clear stop-condition for each wave. Whether the move is one application or a hundred, the same discipline applies: plan in waves, run each wave with a documented rollback, and check against a per-wave success criterion that's defined before the cutover. Each application gets a target disposition — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, or retain — picked against the AWS 6 Rs framework before any code moves.
Two audiences, same approach. Mid-market and enterprise teams typically use this engagement to leave on-prem, switch cloud providers, consolidate vendors, or move to multi-region. SMBs and owner-operators typically use it to leave WordPress, custom PHP, Heroku, or aging in-house servers, moving onto a managed cloud with predictable costs.
Enterprise track. Multi-cloud is recommended only when the business case is real: regulatory data residency, vendor-lock-in risk on a critical workload, or cost arbitrage with verified workload portability. Most companies that ask for multi-cloud actually need 'multi-account in one cloud done well'. Engagements typically run 8–16 weeks fixed-fee.
SMB track. The audience is owner-operators of 1–50-person companies running production on stacks the founders set up years ago. Engagements start with a one-week assessment that includes a 'do nothing' 5-year cost projection alongside the migration plan. If the migration doesn't pay for itself within 18 months, we say so and walk away. Most SMB migrations land in 4–8 weeks of focused work.
Output, both tracks: migrated services, runbooks, cost-monitoring alerts, and reusable infrastructure code that lets your team lift the next wave without us.
Who this fits
Ideal client
- · Mid-market & enterprise: 15+ services, regulated data, multi-region needs, or a vendor switch in flight
- · SMBs & owner-operators: 1–50 employees, on outdated tech for 5+ years
- · Heroku / Render / shared hosting moves onto AWS, GCP, or Hetzner
- · Custom PHP / WordPress / Drupal onto modern web stacks
- · On-prem servers onto a managed cloud, any size
Not a fit
- · Single-application moves you can do in-house in under 3 weeks
- · Cloud repatriation projects (we don't run those)
- · Lift-and-shift for vanity reasons when the existing stack is fine
- · Wanting a long-term managed-service contract bundled with the migration (we hand off and walk away; ongoing operations is a separate engagement)
Sample engagement
Two timeline shapes. Enterprise track (8–16 weeks fixed-fee): Week 1 covers workload inventory and dependency mapping. Weeks 2–3 cover target-architecture design and infrastructure-as-code scaffolding. Weeks 4–N run wave-by-wave migration with rollback at each cut. The final wave is handoff and burn-down of the legacy environment. SMB track (4–8 weeks fixed-fee): Week 1 covers technology and cost audit, including a 'do nothing' counterfactual. Weeks 2–3 cover target architecture and environment provisioning on a managed cloud (typically Hetzner or AWS Lightsail for SMB cost profiles), with a DNS/email cutover plan. Weeks 4–6 run per-wave migration with rollback at each cut. Week 7 is handoff: runbook, cost-monitoring alerts, and a one-page 'what to call us about' guide.
