INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
French startup Platform.sh has raised a $34 million funding round
The company wants to help you manage your cloud infrastructure by handling the most tedious part of the job.
When you use Platform.sh for
your application, the startup is going to handle testing and deployment to your cloud infrastructure
Every time you want to iterate and update your application to a new version, deployment is as easy as a git commit.
Partech is leading the
round, with Idinvest Partners, Benhamou Global Ventures, SNCF Digital Ventures and existing investor Hi Inov also participating.
Platform.sh
The company is currently working with 650 enterprise clients, such as Magento, Gap Inc
In 2018, revenue has more than doubled compared to the same period last year.
Platform.sh can create new instances and deploy clones of your
web applications in less than 60 seconds
That how you can deploy with confidence and save time.
The idea is that Platform.sh helps you deploy 10 times or 20 times per day
Your users won&t see a difference as your website will remain available during the entire day
Behind the scene, Platform.sh uses multiple cloud vendors for its infrastructure, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Orange
Business Services.
Platform.sh isn&t the only continuous deployment solution out there
And many tech companies are going to build their own continuous deployment process on top of open source technologies.
But many companies
don&t have a big tech team and can outsource this part of their infrastructure
If you&re building a media or e-commerce website, you might want to focus on other parts of your business for instance
In that case, Platform.sh provides a one-stop shop for your cloud hosting needs.
