Cloud / Repatriation

Cloud Repatriation

We re-architect for what you actually run — and sometimes that means your own infrastructure. And we can operate the destination.

The signs you are a candidate

  • The cloud bill grows faster than revenue, and reserved instances and savings plans have stopped moving the number.
  • Your workload is steady and predictable — the elasticity you pay a premium for is elasticity you no longer use.
  • Egress fees shape engineering decisions.
  • A regulator, a customer, or your own board has started asking where the data actually lives and under whose jurisdiction.

None of these alone means “leave the cloud”. Together, they mean the question deserves an engineering answer instead of a renewal.

The process

StepWhat happens
1. Spend auditWe reconstruct what you actually run and what each part truly costs — including the engineering time the current setup consumes.
2. Business caseCosted options: stay and re-architect, move part, move all. Each with migration cost, run cost, and risk stated. If staying wins, the report says so.
3. MigrationExecuted in stages against the plan, with rollback points. No big-bang cutovers.

The destinations

  • Your own infrastructure — when the numbers and the ops capability support it.
  • European hosting (Hetzner-class) — the price/performance workhorse for steady workloads.
  • Managed Sovereign Cloud — our platform on European infrastructure, operated, not just hosted. For teams that want the economics and the jurisdiction without building an ops team.

Where this connects

Repatriation is one move in a larger cost-and-control picture. The spend analysis is the same discipline as FinOps; the sovereignty questions route to the Sovereign Cloud hub. If the audit says your problem is architecture rather than location, you will hear that instead.

Is the hyperscaler bill a symptom?
