What is Platform.sh?
Platform.sh has been rebranded as Upsun, and platform.sh and docs.platform.sh now redirect to upsun.com and docs.upsun.com. The company, originally Commerce Guys, was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Paris, France. Upsun describes Upsun Cloud as the cloud application platform that runs your apps so you do not have to, and it also sells a newer product called Dispatch, a software factory where teams and AI agents ship together.
The Cloud product keeps the Git-based model: images are single-runtime or composable, every branch can have a full-stack preview environment, and GitOps-style automation covers the platform. Any action can be run from the CLI, the console or the API. Deployments can target AWS, GCP, Azure, IBM Cloud or OVHcloud, resources can be scaled without downtime, and task containers run jobs and AI agents on demand. Built-in profiling and APM, access management across teams and projects, and 24x7 support are listed on the site. Pricing starts with a 15-day free trial, after which customers pay for the resources they provision.
