01 / MIGRATION
Link your repository
Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. StationOps detects your stack and proposes AWS infrastructure that matches how your Vercel project is built.
MIGRATION GUIDE
Your next chapter, in your AWS account.
Plan a move from Vercel around your application, data, framework requirements, and operating responsibilities.
Plan around the differences.
An illustrative comparison of engagement and platform patterns. Offerings vary by provider and contract; confirm the requirements and scope for your environment.
| Vercel | StationOps |
|---|---|
| Git-connected deploys | Repo connect from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket |
| Serverless Functions | Fargate tasks — long-running, no cold starts |
| Edge Functions | CloudFront plus your choice of compute at the edge |
| Vercel Postgres, KV, and Blob | RDS, ElastiCache, and S3 you control |
| Preview deployments | Preview environments on every plan |
| Environment variables | Environment variables with dashboard and CLI |
| Usage-based serverless billing | Platform fee plus itemized AWS spend |
| Runs on Vercel infrastructure | Runs in your AWS account and billing |
| Hard to export infra | Export infrastructure as CDK anytime |
A deliberate migration path.
02 / MIGRATION
Bring your data across
Export Vercel Postgres, KV, and Blob data into RDS, ElastiCache, and S3. Pull env vars with vercel env pull and import through StationOps. Run old and new environments side by side while you validate.
03 / MIGRATION
Point traffic at AWS
When you are ready, update DNS to your new endpoints. Roll back quickly if needed — your Vercel deployment can stay live until you cut over.
Next.js and Node on Fargate
SSR, API routes, and background jobs run as long-lived Fargate services instead of serverless functions. No cold starts and no execution time ceiling.
Config and secrets
Run vercel env pull, then import the output through StationOps. Secrets live in your AWS account, not on a shared platform.
Replacing Vercel storage
Postgres moves to RDS, KV to ElastiCache, and Blob to S3 — built-in components with no marketplace markup. Third-party APIs like Stripe keep working unchanged.
After the move
Persistent connections and in-memory caching behave differently without serverless isolation. Watch usage in the first week and right-size Fargate tasks from real data.
Move with a clear
operating plan.
Agree the application mapping, data migration, validation, cutover, and recovery approach before moving production traffic. Cost and timing depend on your workload and the services it needs.
Managed service pricing starts at $1,497 per month, with one-time implementation fees and cloud usage billed separately.
Explore managed packagesQuestions worth asking.
01Does Next.js still work on StationOps?+
Yes. StationOps supports Node and Next.js deployments on Fargate. SSR, API routes, and standard build output carry over — the shift is where things run, not a rewrite of your application.
02How quickly can we move?+
A straightforward app often lands on AWS in a day. Larger setups with multiple services, data migration, and compliance requirements usually take a few days to a couple of weeks.
03What about serverless vs containers?+
StationOps runs your app on Fargate instead of serverless functions. You gain long-running processes, persistent connections, and no cold starts. Most teams see little or no code change — mainly configuration.
04We are a small team without dedicated DevOps — is that OK?+
That is the common case. StationOps provisions networking, compute, databases, TLS, and monitoring. You keep a PaaS-style workflow without hiring for AWS full time.
05What happens to Stripe, SendGrid, and other SaaS integrations?+
Nothing changes for external APIs. Update env vars if endpoints change after cutover. Only infrastructure that lived on Vercel add-ons moves onto AWS components you own.
