Platform as a service from France

FranceEU Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Scalingo is a platform as a service provider from France. You push your code and the platform builds, runs and scales it, with support for many languages and frameworks and a choice of databases running alongside the applications.

A French platform is a European alternative to the American PaaS products, keeping both application and data in the EU. Per-minute billing based on the resources actually used suits small teams that want to deploy without running servers themselves.

Pricing

Application and database services are billed per minute based on the resources used, so the cost scales with usage.

Why this matters

This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
