We migrated from Heroku to Porter at work (at my behest). Still one of the better bets I’ve taken.

There is definitely still some more devops overhead compared to Heroku, and I wish the product was a bit more mature. But even at ~$18k/mo on Heroku spend we’re now spending less than half with Porter. Other than myself and the other engineer who were responsible for the migration, the rest of the team really got to keep their work flows and there was little impact except for swapping some tools.

We had a messy, poorly documented web of micro services and shit too, the Porter team made the migration surprisingly easy all things considered. I’ll work with them again if I ever scale past a $10k/mo Heroku bill (post enterprise contract) with another team.

Great to hear that!

We built Porter Cloud so you can just start on us from day 1 and migrate to the Porter you're used to when you're ready, without spending much effort on the migration :)

Excited to try it out for future projects!

Admittedly, my eyes are on pricing here. Couldn’t find anything yet.

Congrats on the launch.

As the second engineer who worked on this migration I'd like to add on to this — the Porter team went above and beyond for us on this process and made it so easy for us.

At first I was wary of all the moving parts we'd have to manage but they took care of a lot of complex things for us and let us have our site running over on Porter very quickly. Even at our not sky-high Heroku spend, the ~3 engineer-months we spent on this are probably paid back by now. Can't recommend them enough.
