I've migrated one larger project with several containers / databases to AWS Fargate / RDS and a smaller one to Scalingo [0]. In both cases, I'm happy with how it turned out and the migration went fine.

One of the main drivers behind the decision was that Heroku required us to move to the Enterprise tier to run private databases.

If the architecture of your application is not too complex, I would suggest trying Scalingo (or Fly.io, Render, etc.) first. It took me around a day to get the application running on Scalingo, Fly.io and Render. This allowed us to be able to compare them a bit. In the end, we went with Scalingo, since the Review Apps feature to automatically launch environments from pull request worked well for our workflow.

You can see the configuration for Scalingo for a smaller elixir app on Github [1].

Render has this exact feature. They call it Pull Request Reviews. Was it not around when you were evaluating?
