Ryz places senior, top 1% Heroku developers on your team for $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, and you see a shortlist of named candidates before you sign. They tune dynos and Heroku Postgres, and tell you honestly when a move to AWS makes sense.
Heroku lets a product team ship without a platform team, which is why so many Rails, Node.js and Python apps started there. Our Heroku engineers run apps well on Heroku, and move them off when cost, compliance or control requires it. Common work:
Talk: we ask what you want from the platform. Some teams want a faster, cheaper Heroku setup. Others have a growing bill, a compliance requirement or a need for private networking that points to a move. We follow up with a price, a written scope and the Heroku developers we would pick. Match: we shortlist on your language, your add-ons and whether the goal is to stay or migrate.
Join: your engineer gets access to your Heroku team, GitHub repos and any AWS accounts. Grow: add a DevOps engineer or a dedicated team for a migration. A Heroku engineer who does not fit gets replaced free, and the Procfiles, Terraform and migration runbooks they write belong to you.
Our recruiters source engineers who have run real apps on Heroku and, in many cases, moved them to AWS. ARC, our in-house system, ranks the pipeline. Candidates take structured NTRVSTA AI interviews on platform behavior, Postgres and migration planning. Recruiters review every candidate before and after, and you see a curated shortlist. AI scores are advisory. Humans decide.
Ryz is not the right fit if you want to book hourly gigs through a self-serve marketplace, or if you need a strategy consultancy to write a cloud report without engineers who do the work.
Many teams hire a Heroku developer to tune a busy app, fix a slow Postgres database or clean up a bill that grew quietly. Others hire Heroku developers as a pair to plan and run a migration. Our Heroku developers for hire are remote and work on US business hours, so they are around when your traffic peaks.
When the platform is core to your business, you can hire dedicated Heroku developers who stay with your apps through growth and, if it comes, the move to AWS. Teams that hire remote Heroku developers through Ryz get engineers who join your Slack, your standups and your code reviews.
Many startups across Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico built on Heroku before moving to AWS, so senior engineers there often know both platforms from the inside. They have run Rails and Node.js apps on dynos and later rebuilt the same apps on ECS or Kubernetes.
A database cutover or a failed release needs people online together. Our Heroku engineers work your hours, so migrations happen in your maintenance window with your team watching.
Heroku engagements tend to look the same in practice. An engineer reviews dynos, add-ons and the database, fixes the slow endpoints and memory issues, and sets up alerts the team actually reads. When a move is the right call, they write a plan first, run both platforms side by side, rehearse the database cutover and switch traffic in stages. You can read about the production systems our engineers have built on our case studies page.
One senior engineer is usually enough to tune dynos, Postgres and costs. A full move to AWS with several apps and databases often goes faster with two engineers or a dedicated team.
Yes. Our Heroku developers work remotely on US business hours, and you can keep a dedicated engineer on your apps for as long as you need one.
Not always. Heroku is a good fit for many teams. Our engineers look at cost, compliance, networking and team skills, and if staying makes sense, they say so and make your setup better.
It is $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, scoped per team. You get a plan, a price and the names of the people who would do the work before you sign.
US business hours, including New York hours. Ryz engineers work on your team, reporting to your leads. Talk to us to scope your team.
