Upsun (formerly Platform.sh)
Paris, France
What it is
Upsun, formerly Platform.sh, is a self-service, fully managed platform for building and running applications. It supports ten programming languages, including Node.js, Python, and PHP, plus frameworks such as Django, Express, Symfony, and Strapi. Developers manage projects, environments, workflows, and integrations through a CLI, Console, or REST API. On-demand preview environments copy production configuration, code, and data. Upsun Cloud can deploy to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and OVHcloud, as well as containerized environments. Each project includes two automated daily backups and two manual backups for recovery. Listed security features include read-only filesystems, DDoS protection, automated TLS certificates, multifactor authentication, and a web application firewall. Certifications and standards listed by Upsun include PCI Level 1, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001. A 15-day trial requires no credit card; pay-as-you-go pricing starts at €9 a month, with resources billed separately by usage. Trial projects do not support object storage.
