About Scalingo

Scalingo is a French platform-as-a-service modelled closely on Heroku. You push code with Git or connect GitHub or GitLab, buildpacks detect the language, and apps run in containers that you scale up or out; review apps for pull requests, one-off containers, cron tasks and add-ons for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch and InfluxDB are included. Because it supports the same buildpack model, moving a Heroku app is usually straightforward. Data stays in Europe: it is ISO 27001 certified, offers health data hosting (HDS), and runs a SecNumCloud region on Outscale infrastructure for organisations under strict French regulation. Pricing is per container size, billed by the minute and shown per month excluding VAT, with database add-ons priced separately; a free trial lets you test without commitment. It is a sensible choice for European startups, public services and health companies, though its region choice and ecosystem are narrower than global platforms.

Best for: European teams wanting a Heroku-compatible PaaS with data hosted in France.
