About this appAI proposal
Landfall is a shared workspace for a done-with-you cloud migration. A team brings its AWS setup, and Landfall's engineers move it to lower-cost infrastructure such as Hetzner, including containers, CI/CD and a high-availability setup. You follow every step in the app.
It is built for companies that want a smaller cloud bill but have no spare engineers and little appetite for a failed move. The migration fee is tied to a finished migration, so the risk of a stalled project sits with the provider, not with you.
Unlike a consulting statement of work, Landfall shows the plan, the parallel run, the cutover checklist and the rollback path in one place. Infrastructure and engineering are bundled into one price quoted against your current AWS spend.

- Why this name
- Landfall is the moment a voyage reaches shore. It suggests a safe arrival, which is what a worried team wants from a migration.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Spend-to-savings estimate
Upload an AWS cost export and get a target monthly cost on the new provider, with the assumptions listed line by line.
No member yet
Workload inventory
Lists services, databases and storage, and marks each as easy to move, needs work, or better kept on AWS.
No member yet
Milestone timeline
Containerize, build pipelines, set up HA, run in parallel, cut over. Each step has an owner, a date and a proof.
No member yet
Pay on completion
The migration fee is invoiced only after the agreed cutover checks pass and you sign off in the app.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Finance and leadership receive a read-only progress and savings link. After completion, customers can share a savings summary with peers or their board.
- Do they become customers?
- Viewers are colleagues inside the same customer, so they rarely become new buyers. Test whether completed customers refer other companies and whether savings summaries lead to inbound requests.
- First customers
- Small software companies with 5 to 30 engineers and no dedicated DevOps person, spending a few thousand dollars a month on AWS for fairly standard web workloads.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News and dev forums: Answer cost and migration threads, and offer a free savings estimate to people describing the problem.
- Founder and CTO communities: Post a worked savings example in small startup Slack groups and ask for pilot candidates.
- First milestone
- Three paid migrations completed in one vertical, with two customers agreeing to share their savings.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimCompanies acknowledge cheaper infrastructure alternatives exist but avoid migration due to engineering time and risk costs
- Public claimA bundled service combining infrastructure plus engineering time for migration, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and HA deployment can cost less than AWS
- Public claimRisk alignment through deferred billing until successful migration completion is valued
- Public claimMultiple companies have this cost concern and reluctance about migration risk

RisksAI inference
- CommercialDeferred payment means engineering cost is carried before revenue. Failed or stalled migrations would lose money, so scope must be screened tightly.
- TechnicalWorkloads relying on many managed AWS services may not move cheaply or safely, which could shrink the set of customers who save.
- CommercialThe evidence is public claims from forum posts; real demand and willingness to pay for a bundled service are unverified.
- TechnicalRunning customers' production on a cheaper provider makes the team responsible for uptime and incidents, a heavy support load for a small team.
- RegulatoryCustomers with compliance duties may need data location and certification guarantees that the cheaper provider cannot meet.
