Successful migration from Heroku to Deploio

We helped Renuo AG to smoothly transition everything that was running on Heroku to Deploio, our own «Platform as a Service» solution that transforms Git repositories into applications. In addition to providing support during the migration, we are also constantly improving our product based on their input. So, what has started with a single Slack message is now one of our most-valued partnerships.

The Challenge

Renuo is a Swiss software engineering company with the mission of writing great code – preferably in Ruby on Rails – without having to deal with server administration. For years, everything ran via Heroku, until a single Slack message got everything rolling. In us, Renuo found the perfect cloud hosting partner in Switzerland and they quickly realized why for us, Deploio is the clear number.

The Solution

As an owner-managed Swiss company, Renuo has always been unhappy that Heroku is American and runs on AWS. It bothered them for many, many years. They’ve thought that it must be possible to use a product as cool as Heroku in Switzerland, where Renuo could kick down doors if they don’t like something – good luck with that at Salesforce. Renuo was in the Enterprise contract, simply a construct from hell. That’s when Deploio came to the rescue and at the right time.

The Result

Being in the software business doesn’t automatically also mean being in the infrastructure business. Renuo didn’t want to run Kubernetes themselves or anything to do with bare-metal servers. They didn’t want to know how to separate clients or who actually does kernel updates – this is where we come into play. Renuo develops the code: ‘git push’, CI/CD and their customers can test. We – and in this case Deploio – handle the infrastructure in Switzerland so that Renuo can focus on writing great code.

«Cloud yes, but preferably in Switzerland from a Swiss company with capable engineers, not just Amazon resellers – that’s what we get with Deploio. It handles the infrastructure, is located in Switzerland, and the people at Nine do their jobs very well. I never had to break down the door at Stauffacher Square.»
