Migrate rails production app from heroku to DigitalOcean

Hi I have a production app deployed on Heroku, this app has sidekiq (Redis server), Elasticsearch, postgresql, SSL endpoint and other add-ons.

My heroku monthly bill is becoming very very expensive, around $120 monthly, while in DigitalOcean I can have my app running for just $10 bucks.

I could not find any useful guide about how to migrate a production app from heroku to DigitalOcean. I found some simple guides but for very basic apps, mine has a lot of services like Redis server, elastic search and many others.

If you can provide some, that would be great, or maybe some of you already migrated such an app like this.

Thanks in advance
