we just switched 1/3rd of our infrastructure off our existing host (engineyard, which uses AWS) onto raw AWS and saved about $2500/month. You can do it too!

I've been around a few companies migrating from EY/Heroku -> AWS and the cost effectiveness is always astonishing. In addition you gain full control over your architecture, which is a major plus.
Interested in how you achieved this. Did you change server setup significantly from the default EY stack?
I'm curious about this too, especially the last part (similar / identical stack) ?
And how much more engineering time do you waste on it now?
