PaaS exit strategy

Graduate from Heroku.
Own your cloud.

Move your workloads to AWS or GCP without hiring a DevOps team. Keep the "git push" experience, but cut your cloud bill in half.

Heroku

  • Developer exp. Excellent
  • Cost Very high
  • Control Low (black box)
  • Lock-in High
Sweet spot

Kapten

  • Developer exp. Excellent
  • Cost Low (raw cloud)
  • Control High (your AWS)
  • Lock-in Zero

Raw AWS/K8s

  • Developer exp. Poor (complex)
  • Cost Low
  • Control Total
  • Lock-in Skills gap

Seamless migration

We've mapped every Heroku feature to its Kubernetes equivalent. Zero downtime migration path.

01

Connect your cloud

Link your AWS or GCP account. We provision a VPC and K8s cluster that mimics the isolation of a Heroku Private Space, but at 1/10th the cost.

02

Import services

Point Kapten to your GitHub repo. We detect your `Procfile` or `Dockerfile` and automatically configure the Kubernetes services, workers, and cron jobs.

03

Migrate data

Use our migration helpers to replicate your Heroku Postgres/Redis data to AWS RDS/ElastiCache via VPC peering or external connections.

04

Switch DNS

Once everything is running, simply update your CNAME records to point to the new Kapten Ingress load balancer. Zero downtime for your users.

Calculate your savings

A typical startup spending $5k/mo on Heroku saves ~$3k/mo by switching to Kapten + AWS.
