Migration Process

A Controlled Heroku to Google Cloud Migration Process

  1. 1

    Assess

    Review Heroku applications, dynos, Docker images, databases, add-ons, config variables, domains, integrations, and usage.

  2. 2

    Design

    Define the Google Cloud landing zone, networking, identity, security, application platform, databases, observability, and CI/CD approach.

  3. 3

    Pilot

    Migrate a selected application or service to validate Cloud Run, GKE, database, performance, and cost assumptions.

  4. 4

    Migrate

    Move applications, containers, databases, storage, background jobs, scheduled tasks, configuration, and add-on functionality.

  5. 5

    Validate and Cut Over

    Complete application, database, security, performance, resilience, and rollback testing before switching production traffic.

Comparison

Heroku vs Google Cloud Comparison

Comparison Area Heroku Google Cloud Opportunity
Platform model Managed application platform based on dynos and add-ons Cloud platform with managed application, infrastructure, data, and AI services
Containers Deploy Docker images through Heroku Container Registry Run containers on Cloud Run or Google Kubernetes Engine
Scaling Adjust dyno quantity and size Configure managed autoscaling based on the selected platform and workload
Networking Common Runtime or Enterprise Private Spaces Design VPC networks, private access, routing, and load balancing
Databases Heroku Postgres and marketplace add-ons Use Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Spanner, Bigtable, or other managed data services
Add-ons Marketplace services attached to Heroku applications Select Google Cloud services or third-party platforms independently
Deployment Git, buildpacks, pipelines, or Docker Use Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code
Data analytics Available through applications and add-ons Connect applications directly with BigQuery and Google Cloud data services
Artificial intelligence Heroku AI services and external integrations Integrate with Vertex AI and Gemini services

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Heroku application need to move to Google Cloud?

No. Codimite can migrate selected applications, databases, workers, or services while retaining suitable workloads on Heroku.

Should a Heroku application move to Cloud Run or GKE?

Cloud Run is suitable for many stateless containerized applications that benefit from a managed platform. GKE may be preferred for workloads requiring Kubernetes control, complex orchestration, or specialized platform configurations.

What happens to Heroku Postgres during migration?

Heroku Postgres data can be exported using Heroku backup tools and migrated to Cloud SQL or another suitable database. Google Cloud Database Migration Service supports ongoing replication for compatible Cloud SQL and AlloyDB migrations.

How are Heroku add-ons replaced?

Each add-on is assessed and mapped to a Google Cloud or third-party service. Data, credentials, config variables, monitoring, and application integrations are migrated and tested.

Can Heroku to Google Cloud migration be completed without downtime?

Minimal or near-zero downtime may be possible through database replication, parallel environments, staged releases, traffic switching, and rollback planning.

How long does a Heroku to Google Cloud migration take?

The timeline depends on application count, database volume, add-ons, integrations, networking, security requirements, and modernization scope.
