Hey! Totally. I meant that Heroku is incredible for bootstrapping projects, but as time moves forward I usually find myself migrating services from Heroku to just run on AWS directly.
There's some friction with AWS (e.g. SSL termination) that Heroku makes incredibly easy, so I usually don't migrate until it's clear that a service is going to continue to exist in the medium term - otherwise the investment isn't worth it.
Didn't mean to imply that was a widespread sentiment, of course! Just my personal one.
Word, I didn’t take it as a negative either. I just want to eliminate those pain points so you never feel the need to migrate. Do you move to cost-optimize early if a project seems to have legs?
