Heroku to AWS Migration Assessment

Migration Decision Summary

Go, with conditions

Execution shape: Phased migration · Complexity: Medium

Confidence: medium — full basis available on request.

AWS estimate (Balanced): Est. $210/mo · Your Heroku baseline: Est. $340/mo (from your Heroku invoice)

Timeline if you execute: ~6–10 weeks (medium complexity)

What would flip this: a confirmed always-on traffic pattern would raise the AWS compute estimate materially.

Cost Comparison

Estimated monthly cost by tier
Tier	Est. Monthly AWS
Premium	Est. $265/mo
Balanced	Est. $210/mo
Optimized	Est. $178/mo

Heroku baseline (from your Heroku invoice): Est. $340/mo. All figures are estimated monthly costs.
