AWS migration service

Move to AWS without another operations mess.

We assess the current estate, rebuild the target environment as Infrastructure as Code, and guide the rollout with validation, rollback planning, and a real handover at the end.

A recent migration

NetworkLessons: from a hand-built Kubernetes setup to ECS Fargate, all in code.

Rene Molenaar runs NetworkLessons.com, a learning platform for Cisco certifications with thousands of members. His AWS setup had grown by hand, and a Kubernetes experiment was eating the time he needed for new courses.

  1. 01
    One production account and nowhere to test
    Separate production and test accounts, with DNS delegated from a management account.
  2. 02
    A Kubernetes cluster to patch and upgrade
    WordPress and the exam system on ECS Fargate behind one load balancer, with no nodes to manage.
  3. 03
    Console clicks and CloudFormation nobody wanted to touch
    Every resource in AWS CDK, deployed by GitHub Actions without stored AWS keys.
  4. 04
    A test environment billed around the clock
    Test resources that shut down at night and on weekends.
“Danny expertly evaluated my existing stack and completely redesigned it following AWS best practices. The entire infrastructure is now defined as code, making it incredibly simple to maintain. Everything stays up-to-date automatically through the pipeline, eliminating the manual work and potential errors from my previous setup.”

Where migrations stall

Most migration pain starts before the workloads move.

The move gets delayed when the current estate is opaque, manual and risky to change. We make the environment legible first, then replace today's drift with a migration path the team can actually execute.

  1. 01
    Legacy infrastructure sets the release pace
    Discovery maps every server and dependency before anything moves.
  2. 02
    Manual operations absorb engineering time
    The target is rebuilt as code, so changes stop depending on console clicks.
  3. 03
    Cutover risk delays the decision
    Workloads move in waves, with validation and a rollback ready at every step.
  4. 04
    No repeatable baseline for what comes next
    The new estate ships as an Infrastructure as Code repository your team owns.
What you leave with

The migration ends with a platform your team can run.

  • AWS architecture built around your real constraints, not a generic template
  • An Infrastructure as Code repository for repeatable environments and safer future changes
  • Validation, rollback planning, and documentation before your team takes over
How the migration runs

A migration roadmap built for change control, not adrenaline.

The work moves from assessment to cutover in a controlled sequence. Every phase produces concrete output so your team can see what changes, how risk is handled, and what gets handed over at the end.

  1. Phase 1

    Discovery and scoping

    We map the current estate, the dependencies around it and the constraints that shape the rollout, so the plan starts from how the environment really works.

    • Infrastructure audit
    • Dependency map
    • Migration scope and plan
  2. Phase 2

    AWS architecture as code

    Networking, security controls and deployment boundaries are defined in code up front, so the migration does not recreate the old drift somewhere new.

    • Target architecture
    • Infrastructure as Code baseline
    • Security and release blueprint
  3. Phase 3

    Staged cutover

    Workloads move in waves with validation at every step and a rollback ready, so the cutover is a routine change, not a gamble.

    • Wave plan
    • Validation checkpoints
    • Rollback plan
  4. Phase 4

    Validation and handover

    We confirm the environment behaves as expected, document how to run it and hand the repository and runbooks to your team.

    • Post-migration validation
    • Runbooks and documentation
    • Knowledge transfer
Migration assessments start from
$495

We map what you run today, what moves as-is and what needs rework, and walk your team through the plan. You leave with the migration in waves, each with its rollback: run it yourselves, or have us run it for a fixed quote. More workloads mean more to map, so $495 is where it starts.

Migration FAQ

What teams ask before
they move production to AWS

How long does a typical AWS migration take?
It depends on how many workloads move and how tangled they are, so the assessment ends with a timeline for your environment rather than a guess. We then migrate in phases, so each wave is small enough to test, cut over and roll back on its own.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
We design each cutover to avoid downtime. Using strategies like blue-green deployments and gradual traffic shifting, your services remain available throughout the process. We thoroughly test in staging environments before touching production.
Will my new infrastructure be managed as code?
Yes. Every migration delivers fully automated Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK. This eliminates manual configuration drift, enables reproducible deployments, and makes future changes safe and predictable through CI/CD pipelines.
Can you migrate from any existing setup (on-premise, other cloud, manual AWS)?
We handle migrations from on-premise data centers, other cloud providers (Azure, GCP), and existing manual AWS setups built through the console or outdated CloudFormation. We assess your current state and design the optimal path to modern AWS infrastructure.
What support do you provide after the migration?
The migration includes documentation and knowledge transfer so your team can maintain the infrastructure independently. When the migration lands on the AWS CDK Landing Zone, you can add a support plan from $399/month. Other follow-on work gets a fixed quote before it starts.
Do you support migrations to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud?
Yes. For EU organizations with strict data residency and compliance requirements, we offer specialized migrations to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This ensures your data remains entirely within EU borders under EU law.
