What problem does it solve?

Migrating existing applications to DigitalOcean App Platform can be complex, requiring platform detection, architecture analysis, and generation of deployment specs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated platform detection and migration planning for common sources (Heroku, Docker Compose, Render, Railway, Fly.io, and more).
  • Architecture analysis to identify services, databases, caches, queues, and secrets; generates App Platform specs and a MIGRATION.md checklist.
  • Reusable artifact generation for testing and production deployments, including .do/app.yaml and .do/deploy.template.yaml.

Quick Start

Provide a complete migration plan for a repository from its detected source platform to App Platform.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate a Heroku app to DigitalOcean App Platform?▼

To migrate a Heroku app to DigitalOcean App Platform, this process detects the source platform, maps repository components to App Platform deployments, and generates ready-to-use app specs alongside a MIGRATION.md checklist.

Can I migrate Docker Compose or Dockerfile-based repositories to App Platform?▼

Yes, Docker Compose or Dockerfile-based repositories can be migrated to App Platform. This process analyzes those sources, maps services and databases, and outputs deployment templates like .do/app.yaml.

What is the best way to plan an app migration to DigitalOcean App Platform?▼

The best way to plan an app migration to App Platform is to automate architecture analysis, identify services and secrets, and generate a MIGRATION.md checklist to enforce safe defaults while tracking progress.

Does the migration plan handle unmapped components or unsupported source platforms?▼

The migration plan handles unmapped components by surfacing them for user decisions rather than forcing a default. It currently supports Heroku, Render, Railway, Fly.io, and Docker Compose sources.

Do I need doctl or yaml dependencies to generate App Platform deployment specs?▼

You need the yaml dependency to generate App Platform deployment specs. This process outputs reusable artifacts including .do/app.yaml and .do/deploy.template.yaml files for testing and production deployments.
