Clean cutover.
Legacy to cloud, in
one defined window.

Hardcut runs single-window migrations one workload at a time. Fixed price, fixed cutover date. Larger estates ship as a sequence of clean cuts, never an 18-month parallel run. We spend the weeks so your weekend is boring.

Security advisories · what I'm watching

Public under fire.

A running chronology of security findings any infrastructure team has to act on. The three most recent below; 20 in order.

  1. 2026-06-01 P2 Meta AI support bot hijacked to reset Instagram passwords
  2. 2026-05-25 P1 Gitea container registries exposing private images without auth
  3. 2026-05-20 P1 GitHub-internal repos exfiltrated via poisoned VS Code extension

If you're staring at a migration you've been putting off, let's talk.

Thirty-minute call by default. No deck, no sales engineer, no follow-up sequence. Either there's a Hardcut-shaped engagement here or there isn't, and you'll know which one by the end of the call.
