Suited for - Headless CMS - when your blogs are less in number and you want to only work within free tier - when you only want to use their dedicated location to host your CMS Less appropriate - when you need to host your cms on your cloud

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.

Pros
  • GraphQL support.
  • Nice Intuitive Web interface to write blogs.
  • They provide us a subdomain on their cloud so that we can start testing our things directly on the web.

  • 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

Cons
  • CMS can be a bit hard to work with for the new users
  • Documentation should include more examples of the output and code along with the output.
  • Custom inputs are quite difficult to start and work with.

  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
- There is no fear of hitting a limit and suddenly having to start paying 500$ per month when you have been using it for free for a while - You don't have to worry about infrastructure because datasets are available as a service - With an open-source UI based on React, you don't have any limits to what you can build - For some reason, I could not find a service that provided schema as code before Sanity, and I cannot understand how anyone could think this was a good idea.

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.

Return on Investment
  • It helped us to create an excellent developer experience and good experience for their editors as well
  • Sanity has created an incredible platform that effortlessly balances good DX for content modeling and good UI for content editing.
  • Pay-as-you-go hybrid service, no need to worry about reaching a cap and having to suddenly pay $500

  • 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.
