Things we’ve figured out

Notes from our engineers on problems we had to solve, from moving between clouds to testing AI output. Written down so the next person does not have to work it out again.

  • Migrate data from a GCP bucket to AWS

    The steps for moving a storage bucket from Google Cloud to Amazon S3: assessing the data, preparing the target, transferring, and verifying the result.
