TYPO3 and Upsun: A love letter from Germany

Upsun, a cloud hosting service, has transformed the deployment and management of TYPO3, a popular content management system, by providing an integrated platform that simplifies application hosting, deployment, and testing. This partnership has gained traction in Germany, supported by strategic collaborations with tech giants like Microsoft, and has been praised for its innovative features such as automatic Git-based versioning, secure read-only file systems, and support for additional services like Solr and Redis. The collaboration has resulted in the launch of TYPO3 v8 LTS, which offers numerous improvements for scalability, multilingual support, and editor functionality, making cloud deployment more accessible and efficient for developers, editors, and project managers. Benni Mack, a core team lead at TYPO3 and managing director at b:dreizehn GmbH, highlighted that Upsun's unique approach has minimized DevOps requirements and emphasized the benefits of using TYPO3 in the cloud, while also expressing future plans to deepen integration with other open-source projects and expand TYPO3's unique selling propositions.
