Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?

So you moved your apps off Heroku, where did you go to and how has it worked out?

Particularly interested in:

1. How much work it took to move apps (be honest)

2. How much experience you had at the time of the migration - e.g. on one extreme your entire devops experience may consist of just Heroku (that's me) or on the other extreme you may be a k8s guru (this helps others gauge how they'll go)

3. How valuable were your learnings? E.g. replacing Heroku with an IAAS instead of another PAAS might take longer but give more fundamental learnings, and hence be worth it for some

4. Cost comparison

5. Summary/description of your apps (e.g. 20 tiny apps with a few hits per month, 5 medium with ~20k hits per month, 2 large with 1-2m hits per month type thing). Please give language/framework.

6. Anything else you want to add

Moved from Heroku to Scalingo

1) Took a few hours to have everything setup. Transition was easy 2) Not that much. I chose heroku because i hate doing sys admin stuff 3) Can't say for this one, scalingo is a PAAS 4) Scalingo will probably be more expensive for starter plans but as you grow it won't be like heroku's horrible pricing 5) Mostly app with no traffic to be honest

I was looking into that, but there's no other super easy heroku like platform. Something where I could just push code and it'd deal with the build packs. Most of them require Docker.

I heard keyob is decent, otherwise fly.io. Render and railways.app have inactive or day limited services.

I used Scalingo for Rails apps a while ago, and was quite impressed by the quality of the platform. Very Heroku-like. Maybe not as polished, but still doing the PaaS job pretty well (git push, and you're done).

I moved my small free Python/Django app to Fly.io and am extremely happy. The move was seamless because they allow you to run your app from a Dockerfile which was straight forward after going through the documentation. Looking forward to building more things on Fly.io.
