Heroku to AWS Migration in Stoke-on-Trent
Moving Stoke-on-Trent applications from Heroku to AWS, where the add-ons are the inventory nobody has written down. Each was provisioned with a click — the database, the cache, the scheduler, the log drain, the error tracker — and every one needs an AWS equivalent chosen, configured and paid for before the application behaves as it did.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nine add-ons are attached to the application and none of them appear in any architecture document.
What you get
What we deliver
- Add-ons inventoried, with a destination decided for each before any move
- Database migrated with a plan for the switchover window
- Build and release process rebuilt, since buildpacks do not exist on AWS
- Environment configuration moved into proper secret management
- Scheduled jobs and background workers given explicit infrastructure
- Logging and alerting established, because these came free and now do not

Heroku to AWS Migration in Stoke-on-Trent — common questions
- Why do the add-ons matter so much?
- Because they are invisible dependencies. Nobody thinks of the log drain or the scheduler as infrastructure while a single click provisions them, and an application moved without their equivalents runs but stops doing several things people quietly relied on.
- What replaces the buildpack?
- A container image and a pipeline you own. Heroku detected the language and built the application automatically, so the migration includes writing that process explicitly — which is not difficult but is genuinely new work rather than a configuration change.
- Does this actually save money?
- At scale usually yes, at small scale often not. Heroku is expensive per unit of compute and inexpensive in effort, so the saving is real for a substantial application and easily outweighed by engineering time for a modest one.
- What do we take on operationally?
- Everything the platform was handling quietly — restarting failed processes, patching the underlying systems, rotating credentials, watching capacity. None of it is unusual work, but it is a standing commitment rather than a one-off migration cost, and it belongs in the comparison.
- Do you work with businesses across Staffordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding Staffordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Stoke-on-Trent businesses do you usually work with?
- Multi-site stock, ordering and networking for businesses operating across several town centres, plus ceramics ecommerce. Beyond that we work across Ceramics, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail and Digital.
- Do you cover the areas around Stoke-on-Trent?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Manchester, Lichfield. Stoke-on-Trent is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Staffordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
