The 4 Game-Changing Benefits of Migrating from Heroku to AWS
Blog post from Qovery
AWS presents a more cost-effective and flexible option for scaling infrastructure compared to Heroku, which can be significantly more expensive for similar workloads. AWS's expansive global presence, with over 30 regions, offers superior performance and compliance capabilities for companies with worldwide customers, while Heroku is limited to just two regions. Additionally, AWS provides essential compliance features like a private VPC at no extra cost, whereas Heroku requires an expensive upgrade to Heroku Enterprise for similar capabilities. AWS also grants greater control over the technical stack, allowing companies to make necessary modifications without the constraints sometimes faced on Heroku. As a result, there is a growing trend of companies, as observed by Qovery, opting to switch from Heroku to AWS to leverage these benefits.
