About

Helping European companies reclaim sovereignty over their data.

Our Mission

European companies should not have to depend on US-based cloud giants to run their business. Concentrating European data in American infrastructure creates regulatory risk, inflated costs, and a real loss of control.

Big Tech Migration exists to give European tech teams a clear, practical path away from AWS, GCP, and US-managed services — without the chaos and guesswork that migrations are often known for.

What We Do

We specialise in migrating managed data services — databases, search engines, caching layers, and supporting infrastructure — from US-based providers to European alternatives.

Our approach is methodical and battle-tested:

Backup — Before anything is touched, we take complete backups of all your data and verify their integrity.
Audit — We map your current infrastructure, dependencies, and data flows.
Plan — We design a migration strategy with rollback gates and zero-downtime cutover.
Execute — We handle the migration end-to-end, including replication, validation, and DNS cutover — with incremental backups at every stage.
Verify — Post-migration, we run comprehensive data integrity checks and performance benchmarks.

Who We Help

We work primarily with small and medium-sized European tech companies — SaaS platforms, fintech startups, healthtech firms, and digital agencies — who are looking to:

Achieve full GDPR compliance with EU-hosted data
Reduce cloud spend by 40–60% by moving off overpriced managed services
Eliminate dependency on US infrastructure subject to foreign surveillance laws
Gain full operational control over their data layer

Why This Work Matters

Where you host data shapes trust, privacy, and public life. European jurisdiction and less dependence on dominant engagement-driven stacks support the society we want: room for careful conversation and infrastructure that does not quietly mortgage your values.

Data Sovereignty

Sovereignty means your data is governed by laws you can challenge in courts you elect — not exposed by default to extraterritorial surveillance regimes. Migration to European providers and self-hosted infrastructure is a practical step toward jurisdictional clarity for citizens, customers, and regulators alike.

Privacy by Default

Healthy societies treat personal data as something to minimise, protect, and purpose-limit — not as fuel for cross-border profiling. Leaving US-centric surveillance-adjacent stacks makes strong encryption, access control, and GDPR-aligned practice easier to sustain across your whole stack.

A Less Polarised Public Sphere

Large platforms often amplify outrage and narrow viewpoints because engagement-driven ranking and ad economics reward extremity and filter bubbles. When businesses and institutions depend less on those centralised attention machines, more of our shared discourse can flow through smaller services, open protocols, and European media — supporting pluralism, local context, and debate that is harder to manipulate at planetary scale.

Aligned With the EU Digital Rulebook

Europe is moving toward clearer rules for very large platforms and gatekeepers — transparency, user rights, and accountability in laws such as the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. Building on European infrastructure does not replace legal compliance, but it sits naturally alongside that direction: a digital economy that answers to democratic oversight rather than only to offshore boardrooms.

Who I Am

The person behind the migrations — how I work with teams and why this work is personal.

I am Madhu, the person behind Big Tech Migration. I started this work because I kept seeing teams park mission-critical data on US hyperscalers by default — not because it was the only sane option, but because it was the path of least resistance. The legal and ethical stakes have only grown since then, and I wanted to focus on the careful, unglamorous job of moving that data somewhere sovereignty and cost actually line up with what organisations say they believe. I've also seen our capacity to hold emapthic conversations scale down as we scale our infrastructures and engagement analytics. I feel sad and helpless. And as an engineer with two decades of experience, I want to help us change this.

When you hire us, you work with me on the parts that matter: backups, cutover plans, rollback gates, and the late-night checks before DNS flips. I'm not interested in disappearing after go-live; I want your engineers to understand what they're running and to feel ownership of it.

Off the clock I'm usually somewhere quiet with a book, friends, too much coffee, and whatever hiking trail the weather allows. If that sounds like the kind of person you'd want in your infrastructure war room, say hello.
