    In our organisation we are the only team that uses Platform.sh to host any site. This was a cost effective way for us as we were using Acquia Cloud earlier for these websites. We mostly use Platform.sh for those sites which are always in development as it is simpler and faster to handle these operations in Platform.sh. Then we do a lift and shift to Acquia as we move more towards the go live and post production maintenance side.

    • As this is a PaaS it mitigates the complexities of a Cloud infrastructure like Acquia
    • We are easily able to integrate our sites with different technologies like Python and Rest
    • Helps us in providing Continuous Development cloud deployment hosting solution

    • Platform.sh is not for beginners in my opinion. It has a good amount of learning curve in my opinion.
    • As this is a PaaS, teams habituated with cloud infrastructure may miss the server side support from their cloud teams. I believe you will have to work on server bugs more on your own.
    • During normal maintenance periods, integrations may fail if you are working on your sites in that time, in my experience.

    In our team we use Platform.sh mostly while sites are in developmental phase. Then we do a lift and shift to either Acquia or AWS depending on the type of sites we have. Platform.sh is really cost effective and more fluid in terms of Continuous Development hence the usage. After said development is done, we generally lift and shift to Acquia for more content heavy sites and to AWS for more transaction oriented sites.

    • Continuous development for sites in build has been fluid
    • Platform.sh is really cost effective when comparing to AWS or Acquia Cloud
    • On the other side, lack of server side support demands a big learning curve from its users in my opinion.
