I have a heroku app that I'd love to try migrating. It's a pretty simple express.js single page app running on heroku's lowest level, uses firebase and has no database or other backend dependencies. The domain is on godaddy and it uses Cloudflare for DNS. Heroku's "Automated Certificate Management" takes care of the SSL cert.

The main issue is that it's for playing a game, and the game is held in-memory, and once a day heroku restarts their servers, so everyone gets kicked out of the game they're in when it restarts with cleared process memory. I need to fix this by migrating and I don't have time.

If anyone feels like this migration would be something that they have relevant experience for and which they could do confidently, please get in touch. Email in profile.



Your server will likely occasionally have to restart regardless of whether you migrate or not. Maybe you could look at using Redis to store your game state. I think Heroku has a free add on.
