The migration, handled.

Downloading free software isn't the job. Running it in production is. That's the part we do.

Data migration

Export everything from AWS CodePipeline + CodeBuild, transform, and import cleanly into GitLab CI / Woodpecker CI. Nothing lost.

Parallel running

Old system stays live while the new one takes shape. Cutover only when you're ready.

Integration & SSO

Wire it into your existing email, auth, and payment stack. No isolated island.

Hardening & backups

POPIA-ready config, automated backups, monitoring, and patch management from day one.

Team training

Hands-on onboarding until your people are comfortable. Not a PDF they won't read.

Ongoing support

SLA-backed maintenance so you're not Googling error messages at 2am.

Three weeks from now, you could already have switched.

The audit is free. We'll give you a fixed-price migration quote, a timeline, and the risks, in writing. You decide from there.
