OpenAI API to Vertex AI Migration

Re-platform your OpenAI-API applications onto Vertex AI, model calls, RAG pipelines, embeddings, fine-tunes and agents moved to Gemini and Model Garden with managed MLOps and no single-model lock-in. Delivered by a Google Cloud Partner.

OpenAI to Vertex AI migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can move OpenAI-API applications to Vertex AI. It is a code re-platform, not a data lift: Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, maps your OpenAI chat and completion calls to the Vertex AI / Gemini API, re-generates embeddings on Vertex AI, re-points RAG at Vertex AI Vector Search, and re-tunes prompts for the target model, then validates output parity per use case before cutover.

Why migrate

Why teams move from the OpenAI API to Vertex AI

Model Garden, no lock-in

Gemini plus open and third-party models in one platform, switch models without re-architecting.

Grounded on your Google data

Native grounding on Google Cloud and BigQuery data, with Vertex AI Vector Search for retrieval.

Managed MLOps & governance

Monitoring, evaluation, IAM and data residency under one Google Cloud control plane.

Competitive pricing

Per-token pricing across the Gemini family is competitive for many workloads.

Agent foundation

Vertex AI is where Codimite builds ADK + n8n agents on top of your models.

What we re-platform

What we re-platform from OpenAI

OpenAI component Migrates to Vertex AI Notes
Chat / completions calls Vertex AI / Gemini API SDK calls rewritten; prompts re-tuned per model
Embeddings Vertex AI embeddings Re-generated & re-indexed, not portable across models
Vector store / RAG Vertex AI Vector Search Pipeline re-pointed and re-tested
Fine-tunes Vertex AI tuning Re-trained on the target model
Assistants / function calling Gemini function calling / ADK agents Re-implemented; Codimite uses ADK + n8n
Keys, quotas & governance Google IAM / quotas Re-provisioned under Google Cloud

Embeddings are model-specific and must be regenerated, they cannot be copied across providers.

Our process

Our OpenAI to Vertex AI migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We inventory every OpenAI call site, RAG pipeline, fine-tune and agent, and rate effort and risk.

  2. 2

    Map

    We map each call and component to its Vertex AI / Gemini equivalent and pick target models.

  3. 3

    Re-platform

    We rewrite SDK calls, re-generate embeddings, re-point RAG, and re-implement agents.

  4. 4

    Parity pilot

    We run a head-to-head evaluation against the OpenAI baseline to confirm output quality.

  5. 5

    Cut over

    Traffic shifts to Vertex AI with feature flags and rollback.

  6. 6

    Optimise

    We tune prompts, model choice, cost and latency, and wire monitoring.

FAQs

OpenAI to Vertex AI migration FAQ

Can you migrate an OpenAI API app to Vertex AI?

Yes, it is a code re-platform. Calls map to the Vertex AI / Gemini API, embeddings are re-generated, RAG is re-pointed at Vertex AI Vector Search, and prompts are re-tuned.

How hard is it?

Medium. API surfaces differ, prompts need re-tuning, and fine-tunes and vector stores are rebuilt.

What replaces OpenAI embeddings?

Vertex AI embedding models plus Vertex AI Vector Search. Embeddings are regenerated and re-indexed because they are model-specific.

Is the OpenAI ecosystem better?

OpenAI has large model mindshare and a mature tooling ecosystem, a real strength. We confirm the target Gemini or Model Garden model meets your quality bar in a parity pilot before committing.

How long does it take?

Days to weeks for one app; weeks to months for a portfolio with RAG, fine-tunes and agents.
