Migrating applications from a Platform as a Service (PaaS) to a cloud platform is often a complex, time-consuming, and expensive process. Companies using PaaS platforms like Heroku, Render, Fly.io, Railway, Vercel, Netlify, and many others frequently delay this migration despite needing enhanced security, compliance, technical capabilities, and greater control over their infrastructure. One of the main reasons is the lack of time and resources, coupled with the desire to retain the seamless experience these PaaS platforms provide — a challenge that Qovery effectively solves. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of our open-source DevOps AI Agent, a tool designed to help you migrate your workloads from Heroku and similar PaaS platforms to AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Scaleway via Qovery with minimal effort and zero cost. Leveraging our experience at Qovery — where we've assisted over 400 projects in seamless migrations — we've created a solution that simplifies the migration journey while offering significant time and cost savings.
