How a migration runs

Rehearsed on a clone. Cut over out of hours.

STEP 01

Discovery

Inventory plugins, DNS, email, custom code, integrations.

STEP 02

Staging

Clone on the new host. DB, files, env, SSL configured.

STEP 03

Testing

Forms, payments, rankings, speed, email. You sign off.

STEP 04

Cutover

DNS switch, monitored. Old host warm for rollback.

Open source

Read every line we ship.

Patches that landed in projects you already run. Not a portfolio of screenshots, a commit history.
