New dimension for Platform.sh

We met Platform.sh 18 months ago with the IT Press Tour and the company, emerging leader in modern PaaS, continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Frederic Plais, CEO, has injected a unique human behavior and today the company counts more than 100 employees with 5,000+ customers and got a few months ago a new VC round - series C of $34M - for a total of $47M, globally all lights are green. Wow impressive for an engineering driven company who suffered a bit of its lack of visibility. This is what I name Platform.sh a hidden gem. But they're working on it with Chris Yates as its new VP of Marketing coming from Acquia. The Company has just been awarded in France by Syntec and EY for the 1st position in international Top 250 category.


Data is the new oil and every company is a software company harvesting and harnessing data to drive success. Finally they all create and manufacture data, you take data and from it you build new data defining key business differentiators.

But complexity is the enemy with tons of applications, tools, databases environments, languages... showing a tough challenge. Number of combinations is high meaning it's a risk and costs climb. Platform.sh solves these challenges with a very easy to use and comprehensive devops platform. The key argument is around the development productivity to release faster new version and invite to focus on the application itself and not the infrastructure around it.

In term of services delivered, Platform.sh offers a scalable composable PaaS, CICD, Service Management, Code Management Tools, Container Management, Billing , Performance and Monitoring... Among key features, Instant Cloning boosts time-to-speed for applications and auto-scale "follows" transparently applications workloads.


Platform.sh recently entered in a new dimension ready for a rapid growth in 2019.
