Startup Migration to AWS with AWS Startup Advisor by Assembly

Startup migration to AWS, planned by AWS Startup Advisor and delivered by Assembly

Assembly is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner and the first AWS partner in Australia and New Zealand in AWS Startup Advisor, AWS Startups' AI-guided migration program. AWS Startup Advisor produces the migration plan in minutes; Assembly validates it and runs every migration it plans. The plan comes from AWS; the delivery is ours.

Relation to AWS services This professional service migrates startups' applications, data and AI workloads to AWS. Typical targets are containers on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, databases on Amazon Aurora, files and objects on Amazon S3, and AI model calls on Amazon Bedrock, deployed with infrastructure as code. The migration plan comes from AWS Startup Advisor.

Why migrate this way

• A plan in minutes: an AI-guided assessment instead of weeks of discovery, with every resource mapped to an AWS service and the reasoning behind it, a side-by-side cost estimate, infrastructure as code and phased migration steps.
• Validated by engineers: Assembly checks the estate, the mapping and the estimate, and takes on the items the tool hands to specialists.
• Production standard: the generated code is hardened in your repositories and pipeline, with a security baseline of threat detection, audit logging and encryption on by default.
• Built for startups: HealthTech, FinTech, EdTech, MediaTech and AI-first startups, each with its own data, compliance and traffic patterns.

Who it's for Startups running on Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Heroku or a vibe-coded app platform that want to move to AWS. It's a program for startups, not every technology company.

How it runs

1. Assess: the AI-guided plan, validated by our engineers: architecture, service mapping, a side-by-side cost estimate and a scoped migration in one statement of work.
2. Mobilise: landing zone, pipelines and a pilot wave that proves the runbook, built from the plan's infrastructure as code.
3. Migrate: waves with rehearsed cutovers, data moved with a rollback plan, AI calls moved to Amazon Bedrock, then handover to your team.

What you receive

• Architecture and AWS service mapping, with the reasoning for each choice
• A side-by-side cost estimate: today's spend against AWS
• Infrastructure as code with phased migration steps, hardened to production standard in your repositories and pipeline
• A statement of work with effort and timeline
• Your workload running on AWS, handed over to your team

Proof Repurpose.io, a SaaS content automation platform, moved to containers on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, Amazon Aurora, CI/CD and infrastructure as code: a 99.9% availability SLA, around 60% faster deployments and up to 70% lower compute cost.

Important

• The migration plan comes from AWS Startup Advisor, an AWS Startups program; the migration is delivered by Assembly.
• The Migration Assess is funded by AWS for startups that qualify; Mobilise and Migrate can be funded too, subject to AWS approval. We check your fit with you before anything goes to AWS.
• You are responsible for any AWS infrastructure and service charges incurred in your AWS account, billed separately from your AWS Marketplace transaction.
