I had a small project hosted in Heroku. After the whole debacle with security I wanted to get ahead of any more potential disruptions and migrated over to AWS EC2 + RDS + Dokku. Being my first time with AWS, I thought it was more straightforward than I thought. RDS seemed like a nice early optimization too (and also mimics how Heroku handles Databases normally by having a separate server for them off the get-go).
