Sevalla is moving its core infrastructure from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). OCI gives us more control over the infrastructure behind Sevalla and creates the foundation for capabilities we could not support as easily on our current setup. This page covers the migration timeline, what changes for your services, and answers to common questions. We will keep it updated as the migration progresses.

​
Migration timeline

The migration starts in early September 2026. During the week of September 1, 2026, we begin gradually moving workloads to OCI. Migrations are carried out during the established server maintenance windows to keep any impact to a minimum. We migrate in three waves. The simplest workloads move first:
  • Wave 0: static site builds move to OCI for all customers
  • Wave 1: accounts that run only static sites and stateless services move
  • Wave 2: accounts with stateful services (such as databases or applications with persistent storage) move
Wave 0 requires nothing from you. Ahead of every later wave, we communicate the details via email, so you always know what is coming and whether anything is needed from you.

​
What to expect during the migration

For most workloads, no action is needed. Your applications, your deployment workflows, and your dashboard experience stay the same. This is a change to the infrastructure underneath the platform, not to how you use Sevalla. We migrate company by company. All services belonging to an account move to OCI together. Until your migration takes place, any new services you spin up continue to be provisioned on our current infrastructure, and the new OCI capabilities become available to you once your account has moved. The only exception is static site builds, which move to OCI for all customers in Wave 0. If you run stateful services, rest assured. Databases and applications with persistent storage require individual migration scheduling, and we will handle them with the utmost care and attention. Your services are part of the final wave, and we will share the specifics with you well ahead of time. For now, there is nothing you need to do, so keep shipping as usual.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Do I need to do anything right now?

No. For most customers, the migration requires no action at all. If anything is ever needed from you, we will let you know ahead of your migration wave, with clear instructions.

​
Why do the infrastructure migrations require a maintenance period?

Infrastructure migrations require a maintenance period to ensure they’re completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal or no disruption to your workloads. During this time, we perform critical tasks such as moving workloads and data to new hardware, updating network configurations, or deploying improved infrastructure components. By scheduling these migrations during dedicated maintenance windows, we can minimize downtime risk, verify that all systems are operating correctly, and ensure your workloads function just like before.

​
Will my workloads go down?

Static sites won’t experience any downtime. Other services may experience a brief period of downtime during the scheduled migration. To minimize any impact, all migrations are performed during our designated maintenance window, when traffic is typically at its lowest.

​
How long will my services be offline?

In most cases, your services will be offline for a short period. We work to ensure that any downtime is as brief as possible and occurs only within the scheduled maintenance window. This may vary depending on the dependencies of your workloads and the specific nature of the migration. We will share what downtime to expect ahead of each migration wave. Customers running persistent workloads may experience longer downtime if their workloads require additional steps to migrate or reconfigure.

​
How will I know if my workloads have been moved already?

We will notify you via email once your workloads have been successfully moved to the new infrastructure. You can also check the status of your workloads in our dashboard, where you will see the updated data location of your workloads.

​
Can I opt out of the infrastructure migrations?

No, it isn’t possible to opt out. OCI will become the infrastructure underneath the entire platform, so workloads cannot remain on the current infrastructure permanently.

​
Will my server location change?

You can expect some changes to your server location as part of the infrastructure migration if your services are currently hosted in one of the following regions: All other regions keep their current location. We include the updated data center mappings in the communication sent before each migration wave. Our full list of locations on OCI can be found here.

​
Will my IP address change?

Your services’ external IP addresses will change during the infrastructure migration. If you’re connected to 3rd-party services that require a specific IP address, you’re affected and will need to update your configurations when your services move. We will share the timing and details for affected workloads ahead of your migration wave, well before anything moves.

​
Will my existing databases change during the migration?

Databases belong to the final migration wave, and nothing about them will change without prior communication. We will cover the details, including database versions, in the communication ahead of the wave.

​
Do I need to make any changes to my DNS settings?

No DNS changes are required for this migration. Have a question we did not cover? Contact our Support Team, and we’ll be happy to help.
