How this migration runs

Amazon S3MinIO, in four moves.

01

Audit

Workflows, customisations, integrations, users. Mapped against the OSS feature set.

02

Plan

Migration sequence, rollback path, parallel-run schedule. You approve every step before we move.

03

Migrate

Stream the data, verify checksums, replay the audit trail. Both stacks run side by side until cutover passes every test.

04

Operate

Documentation in your repo, monitoring on your infra. We stay on as the team that maintains and grows it.
