Migrating from AWS to UpCloud: what moves, what changes, what it costs

dev.to ·

The article discusses the process of migrating from AWS to UpCloud for companies running standard web architectures built on virtual machines, Kubernetes, relational databases, and S3-compatible object storage. The article highlights that most core compute, storage, and networking resources map directly between the two platforms, while proprietary AWS services like DynamoDB, SQS, or Lambda require replacing with open-source equivalents or container workloads.

Key takeaways include direct infrastructure mapping, a predictable cost structure, and the need to adjust for proprietary services. The article also touches on the reasons why European companies move from AWS to UpCloud, including cost predictability, data sovereignty and compliance, and right-sized operational complexity.
