Usecase · Migrate from PaaS

Cloud migrations, without any DevOps effort.

Outgrowing Vercel, Render, Fly or Heroku? Move from PaaS to your own AWS, GCP or Azure account — with the same git-push DX, no PaaS limits, and no DevOps hire required.

No credit card required

vs. PaaS

Deploy freely on your cloud, same developer experience. Stop wrestling with a limited PaaS.

You keep your AWS, GCP or Azure account. We handle the DevOps around it — without renting you back your own infrastructure.

Same product, same DX — but on your cloud, on your bill, with no vendor stack to escape later.

Anything that works on each of these platforms works on LocalOps too.

Cloud setup

How your cloud works for you, in just 30 mins.

Connect a cloud account and a git repo. LocalOps wires up the infrastructure you'd otherwise build yourself — and gives you a simple console with two primitives.

BeforeDays of plumbing

Wrestling with AWS / GCP / Azure primitives

Provisioning, networking, IAM, TLS, databases — every new service drags this list along behind it.

  • VPC + subnets
  • NAT gateways
  • EC2 + ASGs
  • Security groups
  • IAM roles
  • Nginx config
  • SSL certs
  • RDS + backups
AfterMinutes on the console

Just deal with environments & services

LocalOps owns everything underneath. You think in two primitives — environments and the services inside them.

  • Environments
  • Services
Service types
  • Web
  • Internal service
  • Worker
  • Job
  • Cron
The full stack underneath is still yours — provisioned on your cloud, in your VPC, on your IAM.
CI / CD

Same git-push deploy experience, on your own cloud.

Every team gets CI/CD wired up against your cloud, out of the box. Deploy a service from a git push in roughly 30 seconds — no YAML, no Dockerfiles, no Helm to maintain.

  • Auto-build on every commit
  • Branch → environment routing
  • Zero-downtime rollouts
  • One-click rollback

Monitoring

Pre-built monitoring suite, no extra add-on to buy.

Logs and metrics — for your infrastructure and your code — are wired up the moment your environment comes online. No agents to install. No Datadog seats to negotiate.

Scaling

Same auto-scaling, just cheaper to scale.

Handle a launch-day spike without re-architecting. Scale proportional to CPU or memory on your own cloud — no per-VM PaaS markup as you grow.

  • Auto-scale proportional to CPU or memory load
  • Min / max pod count per service
  • Manual scaling on demand from the console

Built-in

Everything you'd expect, built in, and more.

  • Private networking from day one

    Services live inside your VPC by default — internal traffic stays off the public internet.

  • Encrypted secrets

    Per-service secret store with versioning and audit. Encrypted at rest in your cloud's KMS.

  • Role-based access for every cloud resource

    Scoped roles for every cloud resource — without handing out broad IAM keys.

  • Encrypted volumes

    Every persistent disk LocalOps provisions for your services is encrypted by default.

  • Free auto-renewing SSL

    Free, auto-renewing TLS certificates deployed for every public service. No cron jobs.

  • SOC 2-ready infrastructure

    Hardened cloud configuration, audit trails and continuous compliance evidence the moment you launch.

Above all

A DevOps team in your Slack and MS Teams.

Real engineers, not a ticket queue. We help your team think through cloud, scaling and incidents — right where you already talk.

For migrating startups

Starter plan + your cloud credits = $0 / month.

Burn your AWS, GCP or Azure startup credits for compute and storage. Stay on LocalOps' free Starter plan for the platform. Pay nothing until you've fully migrated and outgrow the free tier.

FAQs

Migration questions, answered.

Can't find what you're looking for? Email support@localops.co.

Why migrate off Vercel, Render, Fly or Heroku?

Three reasons usually: per-VM or per-dyno markup that gets painful as you scale, limited control over networking, regions and data residency, and the fact that your code, data and audit trail sit in someone else's cloud account. LocalOps gives you the same git-push DX, but on AWS, GCP or Azure that you own.

How long does an actual migration take?

Connecting a cloud account and a git repo takes ~10 minutes. Spinning up a fresh environment (VPC, cluster, observability) takes ~15–20 minutes. Moving a typical 3–5 service app over and switching DNS usually fits inside a single afternoon.

Do I have to rewrite my services?

No. Anything that builds into a container — Node, Next.js, Python, Go, Rails, Java — runs on LocalOps. You can keep your Dockerfile if you have one, or let us detect and build for you.

What about my managed Postgres / Redis on the PaaS?

Provision the native equivalents on your cloud (RDS, Cloud SQL, ElastiCache, Memorystore) — LocalOps will wire them up. We can also help you plan the data cutover during the migration call.

Where does my code and data live after I migrate?

On your own cloud account. LocalOps assumes a least-privilege role inside your cloud and provisions resources there. We never copy your code or production data.

Can I keep using my existing AWS / GCP / Azure credits?

Yes — that's the point. Cloud compute, storage and network all stay on your cloud bill at standard pricing. LocalOps only charges for the platform subscription, and Starter is free.

Will you actually help during the migration?

Yes. Pro and Business plans include Slack and MS Teams support staffed by real DevOps engineers. For teams without any DevOps bandwidth, we offer a fully-managed migration engagement.

What happens if I want to leave LocalOps later?

Everything LocalOps creates — Kubernetes manifests, container images, infra — lives in your cloud account and can be inspected or exported. There is no lock-in to escape.
