Storefront moved into an owner-controlled AWS environment
A production WordPress commerce workload was moved from its previous host into a documented AWS Lightsail environment with controlled DNS cutover.
What had to change
Move a live commerce site without losing the storefront, domain routing or the owner's ability to recover the previous environment during validation.
Architecture made visible.
Designed for a controlled handover.
Prepared the Lightsail destination in parallel, migrated the application and data, validated the site using a controlled route, connected the production domain and retained a rollback path during the observation window.
- 01
Inventory
Recorded the application, database, DNS, TLS and operational dependencies.
- 02
Parallel build
Prepared the AWS destination without changing the live production route.
- 03
Migration test
Transferred the workload and checked storefront, administration and domain behaviour.
- 04
Controlled cutover
Changed routing only after validation and retained the previous host for rollback.
Control before convenience.
Owner-controlled AWS account
HTTPS validation
Restricted administrative access
Backup and rollback notes
What changed operationally.
The live commerce workload was placed on AWS infrastructure controlled by the business owner, with its migration and operating path documented.
