Switch off the builder app on a set date
When the last route has moved, set a date to switch off the builder app. On that date revoke its keys, remove its deploys and preview addresses, and delete its routes from the proxy.
How to do it
A forgotten builder app keeps a copy of the database keys and a public address that still answers. Take a final export of its data first. Revoke the keys it used, delete its preview deploys as Keep production data and secrets out of previews says, and cancel the subscription. Delete the old code paths in the new system as Delete code that nothing uses says.
How to check
After the switch-off date, the builder app's keys fail with an authentication error. Its addresses no longer serve the app, and the proxy has no route to it.
