I'm curious if any Hacker News readers have successfully migrated from Engineyard/Heroku to Digital Ocean. If so, I'd love to hear about your experiences. I am specifically curious about:
1) How complex/big was your Heroku/EY deployment 2) Time invested for migration 3) Stability since migration 4) Ongoing maintenance commitment 5) If you could turn back time and invest this investment elsewhere, would you?
I love Heroku, but I'm a bit concerned that we're becoming too interwoven/dependent on them. We currently have an issue with the stability of one of the Heroku 3rd-party redis tools timing out and feel a bit trapped... I would love to hear an analysis of others' migration experiences.
