SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents risky, error-prone Heroku-to-Render migrations by turning your local Heroku project files into a validated Render service plan with correct process types, runtimes, and environment variable handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory-driven migration: Reads your Procfile and dependency files to infer runtimes, build/start commands, process types (web/worker/clock/release), static-site detection, and add-on needs.
  • Optional live enrichment via MCP: When available, uses Heroku MCP to fetch dyno sizes, add-on plan slugs, config var names, and database sizing to avoid guessing.
  • Two creation paths with guardrails: Defaults to Infrastructure-as-Code via Blueprint YAML (multi-service, databases, and workers), with an MCP direct-creation fallback for simple single-service cases.
  • Post-migration verification and rollback guidance: Guides database/Redis migration, deploy verification (health, logs, metrics, env vars, DB connectivity), and manual DNS cutover with clear rollback principles.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to migrate your app by reading your local repo files and producing a validated render.yaml for deploying the equivalent Render services, using Blueprint as the default approach.

Frequently Asked Questions about render-migrate-from-heroku

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate my Heroku app to Render safely?▼

To migrate your Heroku app to Render safely, this Skill reads your local Procfile and dependency files to infer runtimes and process types, then generates a validated Render Blueprint with correct environment variable filtering and add-on mapping.

How does a Heroku to Render migration handle Procfile process types and add-ons?▼

A Heroku to Render migration maps Procfile process types like web, worker, clock, and release to equivalent Render services, infers build and start commands, and translates required Heroku add-ons into Render database and Redis dependencies.

What is a Render Blueprint and when do I need it for Heroku migration?▼

A Render Blueprint is an Infrastructure-as-Code YAML file used to define Render services. You need it for Heroku migration when deploying multi-service architectures, databases, and workers, with an MCP direct-creation fallback available for simple single-service cases.

Can I use Heroku MCP to enrich my Render migration configuration?▼

Yes, you can use Heroku MCP to fetch live dyno sizes, add-on plan slugs, config var names, and database sizing during your Render migration, which avoids guessing and ensures your deployment configuration matches your current infrastructure.

Does migrating from Heroku to Render support environment variable filtering and secrets management?▼

Migrating from Heroku to Render supports environment variable filtering to exclude secrets from the generated Blueprint file, requiring manual secret entry and verification to ensure correct database connectivity and application configuration.

What are the limitations of an automated Heroku to Render migration?▼

Automated Heroku to Render migration requires manual database and Redis data transfer, manual DNS cutover, and post-deploy verification of health and logs, serving as a guided plan rather than a fully autonomous infrastructure switch.
