Platform.sh has launched Upsun, a new PaaS offering aimed at startups and growing application teams.
The platform combines managed application infrastructure with tools for describing resources and deploying code and data backends together.
What to evaluate
- Runtime and framework support for the existing application.
- How preview environments handle code and data.
- Resource sizing and the cost of the connected services.
The useful comparison is the full deployment workflow, not just a VM’s monthly price. A managed platform can reduce infrastructure work, while teams still need to control application permissions, data and release behavior. The Upsun profile brings the new offering and its Platform.sh connection into one place.
