08 November 2024 – Platform.sh, a leading Cloud Application Platform, is proud to announce that Gartner has positioned it as a Niche Player in the Magic Quadrant for Cloud Application Platforms. 1

Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct.

Gartner defines cloud application platforms as those that provide managed application runtime environments for applications and integrated capabilities to manage the life cycle of an application or application component. They typically enable distributed application deployments and support cloud-style operations — such as elasticity, multitenancy and self-service — without requiring infrastructure provisioning or container management.

Platform.sh is pleased to receive this recognition, we believe it serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. This commitment ensures that Platform.sh will continue to provide the best solutions for its customers, making you feel confident and secure in its capabilities.

“We believe the inclusion of Platform.sh in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Application Platforms demonstrates our commitment to providing robust cloud migration, multi-provider variety, and enterprise-grade capabilities to customers of all sizes while placing a key focus on ethical practices and sustainable operations, whether modernizing legacy systems or launching new applications.” - Fred Plais, Founder and CEO, Platform.sh

As a developer-centric, API-first, full-stack cloud application platform trusted by Fortune 500s and startups worldwide for its robust, secure, and compliant multi-cloud service, Platform.sh excels in cloud migration and offers businesses a painless, flexible, lift-and-shift experience. They empower organizations to modernize sustainably and efficiently while maintaining governance and cost control.

We feel this evaluation and recognition from Gartner further emphasizes the cloud application platform’s strengths as a polyglot backend framework, and support for enterprise-grade security, effortless compliance, and comprehensive SLAs. And we believe it also underscores the company’s mission and vision of delivering boutique-level attention to customers of all sizes, inspiring confidence in our future endeavors.
