The Exit Test: Can You Actually Leave Your Cloud Platform?
— Jonas Birme, CTO, Eyevinn Technology
Every cloud platform is easy to enter. The real question is whether you can leave. We wrote a 7-step script that exports your data, deletes the cloud instance, runs the service locally, and verifies nothing was lost — using nothing but curl, jq, and Docker.
