Short answer
A safe exit plan covers code, database, authentication, uploaded files, secrets, email, scheduled work and third-party connectors. Anything that cannot move needs an explicit replacement or continued dependency.
When this decision matters
You want more control, lower cost, or a path that survives a change of developer or platform.
Questions the setup must answer
- What can be exported in a usable format?
- Who owns the production accounts and billing relationships?
- Which integrations depend on platform-managed secrets or callbacks?
- Can the old system remain available until the new one is verified?
How AppReadyLab will test it
01
Create a component inventory
02
Mark movable and non-movable parts
03
Plan verification and rollback
Seven dimensions remain visible
A candidate can be inexpensive and still create a poor decision if recovery, ownership, access, or daily work is hidden. The final comparison keeps all seven dimensions available even when the user prioritises only two.
