High Level Instructions for Transferring an Application from Heroku to AWS?

Question

I am a novice system administrator, looking for some general recommendations on how to port a Rails application from Heroku to AWS (elastic beanstalk). I use very few heroku services (except sendgrid). My biggest obstacle is the integration of the application itself and the database migration (from heroku postgresql to AWS RDS postgresql).

Thank you for any ideas of those who went through the same migration. Thanks!!!
