Zero-Downtime Migration

Migrating to Buzstorage

Switching media platforms doesn’t require updating thousands of URLs or rewriting application logic. Use our automated URL rewriters, fallback origin proxies, and batch CLI sync tools to migrate seamlessly.

Auto URL Rewriters

Map existing Cloudinary, S3, or Uploadcare URL structures directly to Buzstorage CDN endpoints at request time.

Fallback Origin Proxy

Missing assets are dynamically fetched from your legacy platform on first request, transformed, and cached at edge nodes.

CLI Batch Sync

Run background batch migration jobs using the Buzstorage CLI to transfer terabyte-scale asset vaults securely.

Migrating from Cloudinary

Map transformations, preserve asset public IDs, and bypass egress fees

Cloudinary Rewriter

Step 1: Configure Cloudinary Fallback Origin

In your Buzstorage Console under Settings → Origins, add your Cloudinary Cloud Name as a Fallback Origin:

bash

# Add Cloudinary as fallback origin via CLI
buzstorage origin add --type=cloudinary \
  --cloud-name="my-agency-cloud" \
  --api-key="CLOUDINARY_API_KEY" \
  --api-secret="CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET"

Step 2: Update Media URL Rewriter

Existing Cloudinary URL transformation parameters map automatically to Buzstorage Edge parameters:

Cloudinary URL:https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_800,h_600,c_fill,q_auto,f_auto/sample.jpg

Buzstorage CDN:https://cdn.buzstorage.com/rewrite/demo/sample.jpg?width=800&height=600&fit=cover&format=auto

Migrating from AWS S3 & CloudFront

Mount existing S3 buckets with Zero Egress fees or sync to Buzstorage Vaults

S3 Direct Mounting

Option A: Bring Your Own Bucket (BYOS)

Keep your existing S3 bucket in place while serving media through Buzstorage’s global edge routing and transformation pipeline:

typescript

import { BuzstorageClient } from '@buzstorage/sdk';

const buz = new BuzstorageClient({ apiKey: process.env.BUZSTORAGE_API_KEY });

// Connect existing AWS S3 Bucket
const storage = await buz.integrations.connectS3({
  bucketName: 'production-media-assets',
  region: 'us-east-1',
  accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
  enableEdgeCache: true, // Enables global CDN caching
});

Option B: High-Speed Bucket Sync CLI

To transfer files entirely out of AWS into native Buzstorage Vaults:

bash

# High-speed parallel S3 sync CLI
buzstorage sync s3://my-production-bucket s3://vault.buzstorage.com/main \
  --region=us-east-1 \
  --concurrency=32 \
  --preserve-metadata

Migrating from Uploadcare & ImageKit

Replace upload widgets and dynamic image optimization APIs seamlessly

SDK & Widget Drop-In

Drop-In SDK Replacement

Replace Uploadcare/ImageKit upload widgets with `@buzstorage/client` React or Vanilla JavaScript Uploader components:

tsx

import { BuzUploader } from '@buzstorage/react';

export function MediaUploader() {
  return (
    <BuzUploader
      publicKey="pk_live_83921..."
      maxFileSize="50GB"
      acceptedFileTypes={['video/*', 'image/*', 'audio/*']}
      onUploadComplete={(file) => console.log('File uploaded:', file.cdnUrl)}
    />
  );
}
