I switched from Heroku to AWS, then eventually back to Heroku. Heroku to AWS was for cost reasons (cut monthly costs by roughly 35%) but wasn't enough savings to justify hiring a devops person. As soon as there were too many issues I didn't know how to fix (setting up everything Heroku offers was hard and likely done wrong, which made ongoing maintenance some level of hell), I switched back to Heroku where the lack of devops needs basically paid for itself.
