How easy is it to migrate your database, app, addons and configuration from Heroku to Bluemix? I'm going to consider a new host once Heroku ends it's grandfathered prices on Feb 1, 2016.
I'd recommend Pivotal Web Services[0], aka PWS, aka "p-dubs", buuuut that's only because I work for the company running it :)
If you have a 12-factor app that pulls config from the environment, it should ideally not be too traumatic. Services are meant to be injected by the platform.
Apps should be the easiest part. Of the buildpacks: Ruby, Python and Node are based on Heroku's and are very nearly identical. Go is based on a community buildpack, PHP is a complete ground-up rewrite and Java is a ground-up rewrite maintained by the Spring team.
If you signup for PWS and you find things broken or missing, email me: jchester@pivotal.io, and I will find who can help you.

Cloud Foundry. You can try it through Pivotal Web Services or BlueMix.
It reuses Heroku's code for several buildpacks, particularly Ruby.
I know that it works really well because (disclaimer!) I worked on the Cloud Foundry Buildpacks team for Pivotal.
