Design partners wanted

Sherpa is only as good as the acquisitions it is tested against. We're looking for organisations that:

  • have a current or upcoming AWS → AWS acquisition, or
  • completed one recently and can share (anonymised) actual migration effort, so we can back-test the effort model.

As a design partner you get early access, direct influence on the rule packs and the paved-road catalog format, and a plan for your deal produced with your team. Everything runs self-hosted in your environment; no deal data leaves it.

Interested? Use the design partner form. It is public, so never name a deal or target that isn't already public; if you prefer to stay private, contact the maintainer via their GitHub profile.

Contributors

Good places to start:

  • Phase 0 hardening — issues labelled phase-0
  • Reference estate — Terraform and test fixtures (Phase 1, epic #6)
  • Rule packs — landing-zone conformance and GDPR rules are plain, versioned, testable rules
  • Scanner plugins — new connectors implement the scanner plugin interface without touching the core

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md: setup, how to claim an issue, and the non-negotiables. Also read Philosophy and Architecture and Data Flow. Every change needs tests that prove its success criteria, keeps output deterministic, and never serialises credentials.

Practitioners

If you've run M&A cloud integrations (integration leads, migration architects, ex-consultancy delivery leads), we'd value a review of the option decision table and the effort model before they ship.
