Overview

Self-hosting gives you control but adds operational burden. Cloud Migration moves your purchased platform onto managed cloud infrastructure — AWS, GCP, or Azure — with a documented, tested migration path and minimal downtime.

Who this is for

  • Teams on self-hosted infrastructure who want managed cloud reliability
  • Companies needing a documented, auditable migration path
  • Organizations planning to scale past what self-hosting can handle

Who this isn't for

  • Teams happy staying self-hosted for cost or compliance reasons
  • Migrations with no defined target cloud environment yet
  • Projects wanting a platform rewrite rather than a lift-and-shift

Our approach

01

Assess

Review your current self-hosted setup and target cloud environment requirements.

02

Plan

Build a migration plan with a defined rollback path in case anything goes wrong.

03

Migrate

Execute the migration in a scheduled window, with data integrity checks throughout.

04

Verify

Confirm the migrated environment matches expected performance and functionality.

Example scenarios

Stack18's services practice is new — the scenarios below illustrate how an engagement like this typically plays out, not verified past-client results.

Illustrative scenario

Self-hosted to AWS migration

Hiring platform operator

Migrated a self-hosted hiring platform to AWS with a tightly bounded planned downtime window and zero data loss.

Illustrative scenario

Multi-cloud redundancy setup

Healthcare interoperability platform

Moved to a redundant multi-cloud configuration, materially improving measured uptime since cutover.

FAQ

Will there be downtime during migration?

We plan for minimal downtime and always define a rollback path before the cutover window.

Which cloud providers do you support?

AWS, GCP, and Azure are all supported, based on your existing preferences or requirements.

What's the rollback plan if something goes wrong mid-migration?

Every migration plan includes a tested rollback path defined before the cutover window even begins.

Do you handle database migration, or just application infrastructure?

Both — database migration with integrity verification is a core part of the engagement, not an add-on.

Can you migrate between two cloud providers, not just self-hosted to cloud?

Yes, cloud-to-cloud migrations follow the same assess-plan-migrate-verify process.

Is downtime really avoidable?

Near-zero downtime is achievable for most architectures with the right cutover strategy; we'll tell you upfront if yours needs a maintenance window.
