For customers facing limitations with Liveblocks (eg: features, security, pricing, etc.), we provide an easy path to migrate to Velt.

​
Migration Process Overview

  • Export your Liveblocks data in JSON format using their REST APIs and send it to us through a secure file-sharing system.
  • You have two options for migration: (1) Transform the data yourself and use our REST APIs to migrate it, or (2) Send us the raw Liveblocks data and we’ll handle the transformation and migration for you.
  • The complete migration process typically takes about a week or so.
  • We can coordinate the production migration over a weekend to ensure zero downtime and a seamless transition for your users.

Migration Steps

1

Step 1: Provide Test Account Access

Provide us with access to a test account in your application where Liveblocks is currently implemented. This test account should contain existing Liveblocks comments and collaboration data for validation purposes.

Step 2: Export Sample Data

Export the Liveblocks data from your test account and securely share it with us. This allows us to understand your data structure and perform initial validation. Learn more
