The cost of Heroku was 50 USD / mo for 1GB of application RAM. I can't imagine that a GKE cluster, plus nodes, plus cloud SQL (and you refer to AWS S3 too?), plus bandwidth all adds up to less than 50 USD / mo.

What's your cost breakdown like?

And how are you finding it so far?

Around 8 years ago I migrated a full company from heroku to AWS and cut costs by 3/4. At that time I remember all the startups around us doing the same, with similar results.

50 USD/mo was for 1 production Heroku app dyno (no db!), with no Redis or Sidekiq. On GKE we added Redis and Sidekiq, all duplicated for staging (on Spot VMs), for 58 USD/mo. (One single-zone cluster is free on GCP.)
