Old platform on yellow, new on green.
Migrate from the old fortrabbit platform to the new one at your own pace. Self-service migration is open now — we offer hands-on support and a discount during the migration period.
Migrating is a manual process for now — the steps below walk through a typical Git-based migration.
Self-service migration
Early adopters are welcome to migrate their apps to the new platform. Here is a recommended workflow overview using Git deployment:
- Create a new App on the new platform
- Install the fortrabbit GitHub App on your GitHub account
- Create a new repository or map an existing one on GitHub
- Connect your local codebase to the GitHub repository
- Push to deploy
- Sync your database to the new App (if required)
- Sync your content to the new App (if required)
- Test functionality
- Point your domain to the new DNS records
Please at any point during the process. We are happy to provide hands-on assistance. We can also offer a discount during the migration period.
fortrabbit migration (planned)
In the future, we will plan to migrate remaining client apps from the old platform to the new one. In most cases, this will not require any action from you, though a maintenance window with some downtime may be necessary. We will inform you well in advance.
