Shipping from VPS to Cloud-Ready Architecture
A staged migration mindset for teams moving from pragmatic VPS setups to cloud-ready systems.
October 9, 2025 • 1 min read
A VPS setup can be excellent for speed, but scaling requires predictable operations.
A staged model
- Stage 1: Standardize environments and deployment scripts.
- Stage 2: Add observability and alerting.
- Stage 3: Isolate services and state boundaries.
- Stage 4: Move high-variance workloads to managed infrastructure.
Rule of thumb
Do not migrate for trend reasons. Migrate when operational pain is measurable and recurring.
