How we moved from Heroku to AWS using Docker
Описание и применение
Перенос приложения с Heroku на AWS с использованием Docker позволил снизить расходы и повысить контроль над инфраструктурой.
Задача
Our application was hosted on Heroku, but we needed more control over infrastructure, cost predictability, and scalability.
Результат
The migration completed in a few weeks, reducing monthly hosting costs by 30% and providing better scalability and control.
Рабочий процесс
- 1. Containerized the application with Docker, creating a Dockerfile.
- 2. Built the Docker image and pushed it to Amazon ECR.
- 3. Created an Elastic Beanstalk environment configured for Docker.
- 4. Deployed the Docker image to Elastic Beanstalk via the EB CLI.
- 5. Migrated the PostgreSQL database from Heroku Postgres to Amazon RDS.
- 6. Updated DNS to point to the new Elastic Beanstalk URL.
- 7. Monitored performance and adjusted instance types as needed.
