Deploy your AWS app to Heroku
Step-by-step deployment help for AWS apps on Heroku. We fix AWS-specific deployment issues, configure Heroku, and get your app live. From $19.
AWS issues we fix before deploying
Common AWS problems that affect Heroku deployments.
Overly permissive IAM policies
AI-generated IAM policies using Action: '*' and Resource: '*' — granting full access to every AWS service. This is the cloud equivalent of leaving all your doors unlocked.
Public S3 buckets
S3 buckets configured with public access for convenience during development. User uploads, database backups, and configuration files become accessible to anyone on the internet.
Unencrypted data at rest
Databases (RDS, DynamoDB), S3 buckets, and EBS volumes without encryption enabled. If a backup is exposed, all your data is readable.
Security groups wide open
EC2 security groups allowing inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 on all ports instead of restricting to specific ports and IP ranges.
Heroku deployment issues we check for
Common Heroku problems that break AWS apps in production.
Free dyno sleeping causes cold starts
Eco and Basic dynos sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. AI-generated apps with webhook receivers or background jobs break when the dyno is asleep.
Ephemeral filesystem loses uploaded files
AI tools save user uploads and generated files to the local filesystem, but Heroku's ephemeral FS wipes all changes on every dyno restart or deploy.
Database connection pool exhaustion
Heroku Postgres plans have strict connection limits (20 on Hobby). AI-generated apps open a new connection per request, exhausting the pool under moderate traffic.
Procfile missing or incorrect
AI-generated projects lack a Procfile, causing Heroku to guess the start command. For non-standard setups, this guess is often wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a AWS app to Heroku?
We handle AWS deployments to Heroku end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your AWS project, then we configure Heroku, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What AWS issues affect Heroku deployments?
AWS projects commonly have overly permissive iam policies and public s3 buckets. On Heroku, these combine with free dyno sleeping causes cold starts and ephemeral filesystem loses uploaded files to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my AWS project to Heroku?
Yes. We specialize in deploying AWS applications to Heroku. We audit your codebase for AWS-specific issues, configure Heroku correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does AWS deployment to Heroku cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Heroku deployment blockers in your AWS project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
