Your product, in accounts with your name on them
Move off the builder's hosting onto infrastructure you control: AWS, GCP, Vercel, Fly, or your own cluster, without downtime and without losing the ability to keep iterating.
Builder hosting is the right trade early: you pay a premium and skip the operations work.
- What we need from you
- Owner access to the accounts you want to end up in, plus the current platform's export or database credentials.
- What you keep
- The cloud accounts, the infrastructure-as-code repository, the rehearsed migration runbook, and the rollback plan behind it.
What the migration actually involves
Migrations fail on the parts nobody wrote down. We inventory them first, rehearse the cutover, and keep the old environment warm until the new one has proven itself.
- 01
Where the bill is actually coming from
Per-seat pricing, per-request pricing, and workload units all scale on axes unrelated to your revenue.
- 02
The dependencies nobody remembers
Cron jobs, webhook endpoints with hard-coded URLs, storage buckets, email domain authentication, OAuth redirect URIs, and DNS records with 24-hour TTLs.
- 03
Data that has to move without losing writes
We replicate, verify row counts and checksums, then cut over inside a window we measured during a dry run.
- 04
An environment your team can rebuild
The target is defined as infrastructure as code, with secrets in a managed store and environments separated properly.
Everything in the engagement, listed
No line items appear on an invoice that were not on this list first.
- Target architecture designed around your traffic and budget
- Infrastructure as code so the environment is reproducible
- Zero-downtime data migration with a tested rollback plan
- DNS, TLS, CDN, and custom-domain cutover
- Secrets management and environment separation
- Cost comparison: before, after, and projected at scale
- Handover documentation and a runbook your team can follow
What is different when we are done
No vendor lock-in
Your code, data, and infrastructure definitions live in accounts you own.
A predictable bill
Per-seat and per-request builder pricing stops scaling against you. Most migrations pay for themselves within months.
Room to grow
Background jobs, workers, private networking, and regional deployment all become available once you are on real infrastructure.
How the work runs
1–4 weeks, depending on data, start to finish. You know what is happening at every stage, and nothing moves to production without you.
- 1
Inventory and target design
We map every service your app depends on, then design the target architecture around your actual usage and budget.
- 2
Build it in parallel
The new environment is stood up alongside the old one and verified with real data before anything is switched.
- 3
Rehearse the cutover
We run the migration end to end in a dry run, measure the window, and write the rollback steps before touching production.
- 4
Cut over and hand off
We move traffic, watch the metrics, and hand you documentation plus a runbook so your team is not dependent on us.
When Cloud Independence is the right next step
Book this if any of these are true
- Your platform bill grows faster than revenue, or per-seat pricing is punishing your own success.
- Compliance, procurement, or a customer contract requires data in infrastructure you control.
- You need background jobs, private networking, or a second region that the builder does not offer.
- You want the option to leave, even if you do not intend to use it this year.
Start somewhere else if
The app is not stable enough yet to be worth moving.
Harden it firstYou are not sure whether migrating would actually save money.

Cloud Independence, answered
The plan is designed for zero downtime, and we rehearse the cutover before executing it.
The one that matches your traffic shape and your team's ability to operate it.
In many cases yes. We can keep the builder as a design surface while production runs on your own infrastructure.
Find out what leaving would cost - and save
We model your current spend against a target architecture sized for your real traffic, then tell you plainly whether moving is worth it yet.
