Hey HN,

I'm excited to share the Open-Source AI Agent I built at Qovery, which allows users to migrate workloads from Heroku to AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway with Qovery in just a few minutes. As a company helping 200+ organizations optimize their cloud infrastructure, I’ve encountered many teams struggling with the manual migration of their legacy Heroku apps. I wanted to simplify that process and save people a ton of time and effort—so I built this tool.

Why I built it:

I noticed that many companies were stuck on Heroku but eager to move to AWS or other IaaS platforms to gain more control, lower costs, or for better scaling capabilities. However, the migration process was tedious, time-consuming, and often error-prone. I built this Open-Source AI Agent to solve that exact problem, making the migration seamless and user-friendly.

The tool is fully open-source, self-hostable, and designed with security in mind. It's powered by a Golang backend that generates Terraform manifests and Dockerfiles based on your existing stack, allowing you to review and download everything before moving forward.

How it can help you:

1/ Migrate from Heroku to AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway in 5 minutes: No manual intervention is needed. You provide credentials, and the system handles the rest, generating the infrastructure as code.

2/ Open-source and customizable: You can adapt the tool to your specific use case or even contribute to the project.

3/ Fully transparent: I made sure that the migration process is entirely visible, so you have control over each step.

4/ Simplifies complex migrations: Especially for teams without a dedicated DevOps engineer, this agent can bridge the gap and make the migration process accessible to developers.

Future plans:

I plan to extend support for Render, Railway, Fly.io, Vercel, and Netlify in the coming months. My goal is to help even more teams migrate from other PaaS platforms with the same ease. If you have workloads on these platforms and are interested, let us know—I'll keep you posted when they’re available.

I’d love your feedback and contributions to the project! You can check out the code here: https://github.com/Qovery/qovery-migration-ai-agent.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps!

A bunch of developers and myself have created RepliByte - an open-source tool to seed a development database from a production database.

Features:

  - Support data backup and restore for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB
  - Replace sensitive data with fake data
  - Works on large database (> 10GB) (read Design)
  - Database Subsetting: Scale down a production database to a more reasonable size
  - Start a local database with the prod data in a single command
  - On-the-fly data (de)compression (Zlib)
  - On-the-fly data de/encryption (AES-256)
  - Fully stateless (no server, no daemon) and lightweight binary
  - Use custom transformers

My motivation:

As a developer, creating a fake dataset for running tests is tedious. Plus, it does not reflect the real-world data and painful to keep updated. If you prefer to run your app tests with production data. Then RepliByte is for you as well.

Available for MacOSX, Linux and Windows.
