Why teams migrate from Heroku to GCP
Good fit when
- +Teams already operating in Google Cloud and wanting strong managed platform services.
- +Apps that benefit from Cloud Run simplicity with flexible scaling.
Strengths
- Cloud Run offers a clean app-platform path for containerized workloads.
- Strong managed data options and integrated observability.
Tradeoffs
- Migration still requires architecture redesign away from Heroku add-ons.
- Service sprawl can increase governance complexity.
Migration notes
- Map dynos/add-ons to Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Memorystore, and Pub/Sub.
- Set up IAM, secret management, and service accounts before cutover.
