The Upsun origin story: the evolution of a PaaS
Blog post from Upsun
Platform.sh has introduced Upsun, a new PaaS offering that builds on its existing container-based architecture to accommodate the evolving needs of decoupled and composable-architecture projects with a novel usage-based pricing model. Upsun empowers developers with granular control over computing resources, enabling them to independently scale application components and optimize resource allocation for production and preview environments. The platform aims to alleviate the complexities of infrastructure management by providing transparent pricing and free viewer licenses for non-developer stakeholders, enhancing collaboration. It also emphasizes observability with tools for monitoring application performance and real-time metrics, allowing developers to make informed decisions and maintain system efficiency. Upsun does not replace Platform.sh but instead offers a revamped pricing structure to address limitations of previous plan-based models, with an open beta available for testing in a production-grade environment.
