A production restaurant website has been migrated from a traditional Web2 stack to the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) using an AI-assisted migration engine, with its developers claiming the process took about 20 minutes from start to deployment.
The project was completed by Mingleberry Media, which says it has rebuilt the Hotel Restaurant Artemis website as a fully on-chain application running natively on the Internet Computer. According to the company, the migration transferred the website’s frontend, backend, database, authentication system and file storage away from conventional cloud services.
The original website, built using React, TypeScript, Vite and Tailwind CSS, was retained without changes to its user interface while being deployed from an ICP canister. Supabase Postgres was replaced with Motoko stable storage, Supabase Auth with Internet Identity, and Supabase Storage with an asset canister. Backend edge functions were also rewritten as Motoko methods.
Mingleberry Media says the migration was carried out using its Mingle Cloud Migrator, an AI-assisted deterministic engine designed to analyse an existing Web2 codebase, convert it into native Internet Computer canisters and deploy it to a live ICP address.
The company says the process can complete work that would typically require several weeks of manual engineering, although the timeframe will vary depending on the complexity of the application. The Hotel Restaurant Artemis website has been presented as a reference migration demonstrating the platform’s capabilities.
The migration reflects a growing effort within the Internet Computer ecosystem to lower the barriers for organisations considering a move from conventional cloud infrastructure to decentralised hosting. Supporters argue that fully on-chain applications can simplify infrastructure by combining application logic, storage and authentication within the network, while reducing reliance on third-party cloud providers.
Industry observers note that while AI-assisted migration tools are becoming more capable, broader adoption will depend on factors including application complexity, security requirements, compatibility with existing systems and the cost of operating decentralised infrastructure. For many organisations, migration decisions are also influenced by regulatory, operational and business considerations beyond technical performance.
Mingleberry Media says all applications it delivers run natively on the Internet Computer using Motoko canisters, Internet Identity authentication and stable-memory storage, with no traditional cloud servers. Alongside application migration, the company also offers AI search optimisation and AI-driven content generation services.
