Our take

Platform.sh makes it easier for web developers to build websites and apps without having to worry about maintaining web infrastructure – something that’s become increasingly complex on the cloud. Using the platform, developers can deploy sophisticated, out of the box architectures and infrastructures.

There’s been a lot of activity in this $60 billion Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) market over the last few years. Indeed, the market is growing at nearly 20% annually, with companies like Heroku and Vercel doing very well. However, with a large customer base that includes Orange, Adobe, Nestlé, and The Financial Times, Platform.sh is doing more than just holding its own.

After a major funding round which was led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, the plan is to continue rapidly growing its globally distributed workforce, with a keen eye on expanding further in the US in particular as well as Western Europe.
