After 10 years on Heroku, Porter handled migrating our infrastructure from Heroku to AWS incredibly smoothly, without the high costs we were being quoted elsewhere. The Porter platform strikes the right balance between giving us the additional controls we wish we had with Heroku all along while orchestrating out much of the complexity of AWS. Add onto that their top-notch customer service, and it makes me wish we would have switched to Porter from Heroku years ago.
We started on Heroku but soon saw our costs balloon as we added more services and environments. We migrated to AWS ECS but ended up scratching it as ECS introduced unnecessary DevOps overhead for our engineers. Porter really hit the sweet spot for us, letting us keep the Heroku experience while taking advantage of AWS's cost and flexibility.
As a solo founder, Heroku was the obvious path to get going quickly and simply. But as the needs of our API grew, so did the price tag. We were stuck locked into Heroku and Salesforce, without a clear path out and no support. Porter came at the perfect (down)time and completely managed the migration. Now, I have support engineers right in my dedicated Slack channel.
We wanted to move off of Heroku because of increasing costs, whilst maintaining Heroku’s ergonomics. After a lengthy discovery process, we ultimately chose Porter and have been thoroughly rewarded by that decision. The team ensured a smooth migration and was a treat to work with. We’re now saving a significant amount of money on infrastructure, have removed a number of arbitrary Heroku constraints, and most importantly, have maintained a phenomenal developer experience.
We've always used a PaaS at Toma to help us run lean. However, reliability was a train wreck with our previous provider, as shared nodes between users constantly derailed our apps. We initially switched to Porter to increase reliability by running on our own infra. What we didn’t expect was that Porter has all the features we now can't live without - versioned rollbacks, observability out-of-the-box, and one-click inference deployments, just to name a few.
Our engineering team is super happy with Porter. We had a staging environment ready in minutes and it saved us a lot of time for just focusing on development. Our production apps were ready in one day with all configurations. The Porter team has been top-notch and we get an awesome developer experience on AWS.
We moved from Heroku to EKS with Porter. After talking to other companies that adopted Kubernetes, we realized managing Kubernetes on your own is a fool’s errand as a startup with shifting priorities. Porter allowed us to immediately get up and running with a production-ready environment without having to build anything internally. Our developers love the platform and the time we've saved has been substantial.
We were 6 years in with Heroku using every feature they had. We decided to go with Porter to combine our developers' love of Heroku with our Cloud Engineers' deep understanding of AWS. Justin and team have been very responsive to issues and have been great partners as we continue to expand our usage of Porter.
Working with Porter has been great! Way more powerful than Heroku and much easier than working with AWS directly. Gives you the power of a dev-ops team from a dashboard.
Porter gave us Heroku-style automation on top of all the benefits of hosting in our own AWS, all without having to hire a single DevOps engineer. Kubernetes is purely an implementation detail on Porter, but it's also been great to tap into the existing ecosystem of vendors and add-ons.
The Porter team is fantastic. We migrated from Heroku and between the AWS server credits and this deal, we've cut our infrastructure costs to nearly zero. The dashboard is gorgeous too!
Couldn’t be happier with Porter. We needed to migrate off of Vercel and Render to become SOC 2 compliant on AWS. Porter’s security and compliance features, quick setup, and incredible support let us do so. Amazing value proposition!
