MigratePal: Emergency migration kit for PaaS shutdowns
When a managed platform like Zeabur shuts down, generate your migration checklist and configs in one click.
- Problem
- Zeabur announced it will stop service in December after security incidents, forcing users to urgently migrate servers. When similar platforms shut down or raise prices, developers find configs scattered and migration steps improvised.
- Solution
- A tool connects to common PaaS providers like Zeabur, Railway, and Fly.io to export projects, env vars, domains, and database configs, then generates a migration checklist and importable configs with step-by-step guidance.
- Users
- Indie developers and early-stage teams using small-to-mid PaaS without dedicated ops staff.
- MVP
- One-click export of Zeabur project metadata; migration checklist generation; Docker Compose and common target config templates; migration progress tracking.
- Revenue
- Free single-project export; subscription for multiple projects, scheduled backups, and team collaboration; affiliate referrals to target platforms.
- Why now
- Small PaaS shutdowns and price hikes are frequent, and migration anxiety is real. Starting with export and checklists avoids deep integrations.
