Case Study: GroupMap achieves a smoother Heroku-to-AWS migration with Mechanical Rock

GroupMap Heroku to AWS migration

GroupMap, a provider of an online collaboration tool, faced the challenge of migrating from Heroku to a more flexible and sustainable AWS infrastructure. Their small team needed to build internal capability to manage the new environment confidently. They engaged Mechanical Rock to deliver a simple solution with the right AWS guardrails while providing a hands-on learning experience.

Mechanical Rock developed a migration blueprint, setting up a structured AWS account and creating an end-to-end deployment pipeline for a sandbox environment. This provided GroupMap with a reference to independently migrate their remaining applications. The solution by Mechanical Rock resulted in a more secure and flexible infrastructure, enabling GroupMap's team to complete the migration with confidence and ensuring long-term stability for their product.
