Developing apps takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. It can feel like a marathon that doesn’t even have the courtesy to end once you cross the finish line. From managing infrastructure to scaling, operations, and security (to name just a few things), it takes plenty of work to ensure that your cherished creation is loved by users and customers. App hosting takes much of this responsibility off your shoulders, and a solid Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider can go even further.

You’re probably all very familiar with the URLs we currently generate automatically for your environments on Platform.sh by now. And while they are very useful, they’re not the most friendly-looking as, we build them using the following pattern: This approach is important because it ensures that our URLs are unique for all projects and their environments but it also makes them pretty long, overly complicated, and let’s face it—not the prettiest. But this is the case no more!

Today Bun 1.0 is being announced—one of our friends in the ‘.sh’ tld—so it’s an absolute pleasure to share a small celebration and our first thoughts on this fully-baked runtime.

With Platform.sh, every Git branch maps to a preview environment which is an exact and isolated copy of your live application—including all data, services, and files. They are usually created to build new features, apply security patches, or upgrade dependencies in full isolation and before deploying to production. Although there is a catch—preview environments are often left idle waiting for someone to review and approve any changes made.

In today’s software development panorama, there's a philosophy which really stands out and continues to influence the thought processes of numerous creative minds and progressive organisations: Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS is a champion of collaboration, absolute accessibility, and the freedom to alter, share, and build upon existing software devoid of any licensing impediments.

Our Elite and Enterprise customers currently using the Fastly CDN can now strengthen the protection of their web applications against a variety of different cyberattacks with our next-gen Fastly web application firewall (Next-Gen WAF) feature. But what exactly is Next-Gen WAF?

Building applications and managing infrastructure at the same time is a complex task. It involves managing multiple software and hardware components, plus an evolving ecosystem of dependencies and external tools. There’s also the need to keep up with changing technologies while coordinating different teams and delivering solutions to meet business goals.

In today's rapidly changing technology landscape, businesses need to adapt and evolve to stay competitive. One trend that has gained momentum is the shift from Platform as a Service (PaaS) to Software as a Service (SaaS) models. This article will discuss the challenges and opportunities PaaS vendors face when moving to a SaaS model and how Platform.sh can help in this transition.

As you probably already know, Blackfire and Platform.sh joined forces back in June 2021. And since then our collective teams have been working together to provide a seamless integration for a complete Git workflow and Observability solution. Blackfire was already part of the Platform.sh product experience for Enterprise and Elite users for quite some time now thanks to the Platform.sh Observability suite.

One of the value propositions of Platform.sh is to offer greener hosting. By choosing cloud hosting instead of on-premise hosting, you are selecting a greener way to host your applications and websites. In addition, when creating a project, you have the option to choose the greenest region to host it. How?
