Software Development

My business has a custom software that we've been building and working with a software developer on it. We have not been pleased with them to date but have dealt with it because changing would be a lot of work. They have not sent us a increase in their hourly rate out of the blue and are making it effective immediately, even though we have ongoing projects with them. This was the final straw for me.
Problem is, I know nothing about software development so i'm not sure where to turn. I do not know how this software was built (meaning what platform) so i'm not sure how to find a new company. All i know is that it's housed on AWS.
Can anyone who is familiar with this world enlighten me on how to start the process of finding a new developer? I am not wanting them to find out about this as I am afraid they will just stop working on the critical components they are currently working on and then we'll be in deep $hit.
Thank you!

Do you have access to the code and/or AWS account?

Hope that checking the contract and the bill will give more insight and some answers, it should in my opinion. Good luck with sorting this out.

Gather as much information from your current developer as possible without raising suspicion. Ask for documentation, source code, or any details about the platform and framework they're using.
Next, start looking for software developers with experience in AWS since that's where your software is hosted. You can find developers on sites like Upwork or Toptal, or ask for recommendations from your business network. When interviewing, make sure they have a strong track record in LINK for business clients, and ask about their process for transitioning existing projects.
