We Raised €3.5 Million to Provide Reliable, Secure Cloud Hosting to Businesses Across Europe

Today marks a significant milestone in Scalingo’s journey as we proudly announce the successful closure of a €3.5 million funding round.

At Scalingo, our mission has always been clear: to simplify and optimize the deployment process, enabling developers to focus on what truly matters - building great applications !

We provide a PaaS hosting platform that eliminates the complexities typically associated with deploying and managing infrastructure…all while prioritizing robust security measures and stringent data protection practices in alignment with evolving EU regulations.

In other words, while you innovate and grow, we handle the heavy lifting of infrastructure management, and ensure your apps are safe and compliant!

This funding round, led by esteemed investors, such as Side Angels, the CAJUBA community and NEO Founders, alongside BPI France, Caisse d’Epargne, BNP Paribas and other key tech partners, is pivotal in our mission to provide accessible, reliable and secure hosting for developers across Europe and beyond

Scalingo’s raison d’être : or why forward-thinking developers are choosing our PaaS

When embarking on a new project, developers are typically presented with a variety of choices:

  • Managing their own infrastructure: While this option offers control, it can be time-intensive and demands costly, long-term, DevOps expertise.
  • Relying on American Cloud providers: These platforms boast robust, often overly complex features but do not always align with evolving EU data protection standards. Their agressive start-up offers are also known to lead to lock-in and compliance challenges.
  • Opting for a European alternative: While local, many of these platforms can be complex to navigate and lack robust human support. Where others prioritize user-friendliness, they seem to compromise on security.

In contrast, Scalingo offers a compelling combination of simplicity, security, performance and expert support.

“ We openly draw inspiration from user-friendly American solution Heroku, and enhance their easy-to-use features with rigorous security protocols and dedicated human expertise to ensure customer success. ”

  • Security and certifications: Committed to robust security measures, we hold certifications that validate our adherence to the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance. We operate exclusively from SecNumCloud 3.2 qualified 3DS Outscale datacenters based in France, and ensure robust security and compliance with our own ISO 27001 and HDS certifications.

Addressing Security Challenges Head-On

With this new investment, our goal is to become the preferred cloud platform for developers across Europe, offering a reliable and easy-to-use sovereign alternative amidst increasing security and regulatory challenges.

With cyberattacks on the rise we're committed to raising the bar in cybersecurity standards, ensuring our clients have peace of mind in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

And did we mention we are currently working on obtaining the SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification for our whole PaaS offer?

“ Our team of security experts is not only working on defending against current threats but anticipating future challenges & staying ahead of the curve in cyber defense. ”
