Migrating off hosted platforms like Render, Heroku, Railway, and Fly.io
The 5x Spread Nobody Puts on the Pricing Page: What Railway, Render, Fly.io, and Vercel Really Bill vs One Hetzner Box
Pricing pages say the four big PaaS options cost about the same. Rebuilt from real 2026 rates — egress, usage meters, build minutes — the same app spans a 5x spread, until one flat-rate box collapses it.
Your Region No Longer Exists: What Fly.io Deleting 17 Regions Teaches About Cloud Lock-In
Fly.io retired 17 of its 35 regions in September 2025, forcing tenants in cities from Santiago to Hong Kong to move. A region-by-region accounting of what the forced migration cost — and why 'the vendor can delete your region' belongs on every platform exit checklist.
Gateway API v1.5 Is the Green Light for Day-One PaaS Routing — With Three Exceptions
Gateway API v1.5 moved ListenerSet, TLSRoute, and four more features to the stable channel. A verdict for platform teams: new clusters can build custom-domain and TLS routing on it today, with exactly three workloads that should wait.
Heroku Fir Doesn't Take Docker: The Migration Audit for Teams Stranded Between Cedar and Fir
Heroku's Fir generation doesn't support Docker deploys and Cedar is frozen under sustaining engineering. A five-point audit for heroku.yml teams: what breaks, where container workloads go, and the real bill delta.
The Heroku-to-Kubernetes Discount Is Real. Here's Which Line Item Pays for It.
The same stack priced on Heroku, cloud Kubernetes, and owned Hetzner hardware across three workload sizes shows the 52-68% migration discount is real — and Postgres and Redis markup, not compute, pays for most of it.
Huly's Hosted Shutdown: The Complete Self-Host Migration for Your Project Data
Huly's hosted service wound down in July 2026 while its Docker images and self-host repo stayed maintained. A concrete walkthrough for moving your workspace to Dokploy, Coolify, or plain Compose — volumes, image pins, and the exit-strategy checklist every SaaS-dependent team should keep.
PostgreSQL 14 Dies November 12: A CNPG Upgrade Runbook
PostgreSQL 14 reaches end of life on November 12, 2026, and 14.24 is effectively its last release ever. A concrete CloudNativePG runbook: three upgrade paths compared, a seven-item pre-flight checklist covering the output_plugin_libraries gotcha, and a nine-week rollout schedule.
Railway's Databases Went Private by Default: Migrating Every Connection String That Assumed a Public Proxy
Railway's July 2026 change ships Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis templates with no public TCP proxy: a per-pattern migration for local clients, migrations, BI jobs, and runbooks, why private-by-default is the right call, and what the same Postgres costs on hardware you own.
Railway vs Render vs Fly.io 2026 Benchmarks: The Spend Threshold Where Self-Hosting Wins
Independent 2026 benchmarks price the same stack on Railway, Render, and Fly.io across four traffic tiers — and show the monthly spend where a flat-rate box beats all three.
