Self Hosted to RAMP

Hi folks,

We are moving from selfhosted to Hosted Services* (aka RAMP). Loads of fun to be had, but it is a sizable project.

If you have run this gauntlet before and have any advice, tips, project workflow magic, I'd love to hear it.

Best,

H

  • Hi Heath!

    Not *exactly* what you're asking for, but I worked at self-hosted organizations from the very beginning.  Then there was the "accidental sabbatical" that was the pandemic.  After, I found myself at a RAMP organization for the first time.  It took me a loooong time to get used to the level of control I (didn't) have anymore, especially in sql.  In the beginning I was always running up against permission issues, "who is responsible for what", why don't I have report templates, etc, etc.  Once those things got ironed out/I got used to them, RAMP has been great.  

    If I had the opportunity to be in on a conversion to RAMP, I would ask at every opportunity "who does this- me or you?" and take the time to explore the boundaries of your permissions.
