Engagement · planned, low-downtime cutover

Move to the cloud without betting the business on cutover night

We move hardware and VPS workloads onto AWS, GCP, Azure — or a leaner VPS — with a plan that treats downtime as a number to minimise, not a risk to accept. Dependency mapping, a target architecture designed for how you actually run, a runbook we rehearse before the real cutover, and a rollback plan that works if the day goes sideways. Run by the same senior US engineers who'll operate it afterwards.

What's involved

Every part of the move, owned end to end

A migration is only as safe as its weakest step, so we own all of them — from the first dependency audit to tuning the bill once you're live.

Assessment & dependency mapping

We inventory what's actually running — services, data stores, cron jobs, integrations and the undocumented glue — and map how they depend on each other, so nothing gets left behind or breaks in a surprising order on cutover day.

Target architecture design

We design the destination for how you run: right-sized compute, managed services where they earn their keep, networking, IAM and secrets done properly. Delivered as code you own — on AWS, GCP, Azure or a VPS.

A rehearsed migration runbook

A step-by-step runbook with owners, timings and go/no-go checks — then we dry-run it against a staging copy so the real cutover is a rehearsed sequence, not a first attempt under pressure.

Data migration

Databases, object storage and file systems moved with a strategy that fits the size and change rate — pre-seed plus replication to keep the final sync short, and integrity checks so we can prove the data landed intact.

Cutover with a rollback plan

The switch happens inside a defined window with the old environment kept warm on standby. If a go/no-go check fails, we roll back to the known-good stack instead of debugging live — the plan is tested before we need it.

Post-migration tuning & cost optimization

Once you're live we tune what the move exposed — instance sizing, autoscaling, storage tiers, reserved capacity and idle resources — so you're paying for what you use, not for a lift-and-shift left on defaults.

Why us

The cutover is rehearsed before it's real

Most migration pain comes from doing the risky part for the first time in production. We take that away: the plan is written down, dry-run against a copy, and paired with a rollback that actually works — so cutover night is a known quantity.

  • We dry-run the cutover against a staging copy first — the real one is a repeat, not a debut.
  • The old stack stays on standby so rollback is one tested step, not an all-nighter.
  • Go/no-go checks gate the switch — we don't commit until the data and health checks pass.
  • Everything ships as code — infrastructure, the runbook and the rollback are version-controlled and handed over.
  • Senior US engineers plan and run the move — the same people who operate it afterward.
Prove the runbook in a week

Not ready for the whole move? A one-week PoC sprint can produce a tested migration runbook first, so you see the plan before you commit to the cutover.

Step 1

Assess

Inventory and dependency map of the current stack, with risks and unknowns written down.

Step 2

Design

Target architecture as code, sized for real load and reviewed with your team before we build.

Step 3

Rehearse

Build the target, migrate data, and dry-run the full cutover runbook against a staging copy.

Step 4

Cut over

Final data sync and switch inside a defined window, with go/no-go checks and rollback ready.

Step 5

Tune

Right-size, optimise the bill, and clean up idle resources now that you're running live.

Step 6

Operate

Optional ongoing management — pairs naturally with high availability once you're settled.

Get started

Plan the move before you make it

Tell us where you're running today and where you want to be — hardware, VPS, or one cloud to another. We'll scope the assessment, the target design and a rehearsed cutover, and give you a straight read on downtime and cost.
