In the final part of his series, the author provides a retrospective of using Heroku for the very first time, detailing the new design and lessons learned.

In the “Moving Away From AWS and Onto Heroku” article, I provided an introduction of the application I wanted to migrate from Amazon’s popular AWS solution to Heroku. Subsequently, the “Destination Heroku” article illustrated the establishment of a new Heroku account and focused on introducing a Java API (written in Spring Boot) connecting to a ClearDB instance within this new platform-as-a-service (PaaS) ecosystem.

The third article in the series (“Delivering Static Web Content on Heroku”) provided a manner in which static web files could also be serviced by Heroku. My primary goal with this series is to find a solution that allows me to focus my limited time on providing business solutions instead of getting up to speed with DevOps processes.

With everything now running in Heroku, it is time to take a step back and perform a retrospective on my new application journey.
