Cutover guides for integrators

Practical, opinionated guides for planning and running cutovers. Built around how integrators actually work.

• Cutover dress rehearsal: a walkthrough

  The T-7 dress rehearsal is the full cutover sequence, executed end-to-end against a production-like environment with the real team and the real clock. Step-by-step runbook, what to measure, and how to close the action list before go-live.

• Cutover rehearsal: the complete guide for integrators

  How to design, run, and learn from a cutover rehearsal. Covers the four types of rehearsal (tabletop, mock cutover, dry run, dress rehearsal), timing, what to capture, and common mistakes.

• Dry run migration: a complete how-to

  How to plan and execute a dry run migration at production-equivalent data volumes. Covers the T-10 to T-7 timing, environment prep, validation strategy, what to measure, and what only a dry run catches that other rehearsals don't.

• Mock cutover: an explainer

  What a mock cutover is, when to run one (T-14), what to include in scope, and the step-by-step runbook. Part of the cutover rehearsal cluster.
