Hey, @adamghill ! Founder of Appliku here :)

I was happy with Heroku as well for some time until I had multiple small projects hosted there. It already costed a lot.

Actually I wrote a whole post about it last summer: dev.to/kostjapalovic/tired-of-depl...

If you ever need to cut down some costs on Heroku there is a Heroku Config vars Sync.

This allows migrating from Heroku gradually or just offloading some of compute resources from Heroku to a servers of your choice. For example, one of the first popular use cases was moving background workers off of Heroku, while keeping Heroku Postgres. Then you can move web workers from Heroku too and again – keep using their DB which i think is pretty good both in stability and tooling.

Let me know if you are ever curious about it, I'll give you a tour!

Migrating off of Heroku gradually is a great idea. I'll definitely give Appliku a try!
