Rewrote the Heroku migration post to be transparent and educational: - Changed from fake narrative to honest cost comparison - Added Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculations with engineer time - Included break-even analysis showing realistic 22-31% savings (not 90%) - Created decision framework for when to self-host vs stay on Heroku - Added 4 real-world scenario applications - Honest discussion of hidden costs, risks, and tradeoffs - Removed made-up performance metrics and migration story - Focused on helping readers make informed decisions Related to #927
