Using Fastly as our third-party content delivery network (CDN) provider, the Platform.sh PaaS is capable of caching static assets (including images, CSS files, fonts, and more) and application responses. Delivering faster performance and lower latency, improved traffic-spike handling, and reliability through a globally distributed network. Platform.sh takes care of the core management of the CDN layer as covered by our SLA. Learn more.
The days of configuring cron jobs to take backups for each of your environments are over. Every Platform.sh project has two daily automated backups and two manual backups available to revert to at all times—data included. Learn more.
Security and compliance
The Git-driven Platform.sh architecture helps ensure every change to your infrastructure configuration is versioned and auditable, giving you peace of mind. While high levels of built-in security and compliance give you more time to focus on code.
Every application hosted by Platform.sh is deployed to a read-only file system as part of our defense-in-depth strategy. Built to ensure no unapproved changes can be made to your code post-deployment. All software installations or changes to an application must be done through our secure and auditable process. Learn more.
Protecting your data with at-rest or in-transit default data encryption and TLS- or SSH-required access. Any data in transit on the Platform.sh controlled network that’s not encrypted is nonetheless protected by private networking rules. Learn more.
Platform.sh automatically provides TLS certificates for all sites and environments free of charge. Each certificate is valid for 90 days and is automatically renewed 28 days before expiration, so you can rest easy. Learn more.
No need to worry about losing your keys ever again. Keyless Secure Shell (SSH) access—powered by OAuth 2 and SSH certificates—securely connects users to their application server faster. Learn more.
Enhance application security with multifactor authentication, which requires all team members to complete a second security step before they can connect via Keyless Secure Shell. Available for all Enterprise and Elite customers and configurable on a per-project basis. Learn more.
Platform.sh maintains a custom web application firewall (WAF) on top of every project and environment hosted with us. Add on Fastly’s Next-gen WAF to further strengthen application security, leveraging the Signal Sciences intelligent engine to analyze incoming requests and automatically block them in the event of an attack. Learn more.
We maintain and are audited on an array of security and compliance standards, including SOC 2, PCI DSS Level 1, and HIPAA. These ensure that our platform is secure and, through our shared responsibility model, can be used as a solid foundation for your organization’s own compliance journey, with no need to start it all from scratch—giving you more time to focus on code. Learn more.
Operating within the stipulations of GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, SOC 2, the Australian Privacy Act, and PIPEDA, we ensure the highest standard of data privacy and protection. We do not sell your data and remain transparent about how we may use your data. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
Platform.sh engages subprocessors in countries within and outside of the EU, always ensuring that the proper template is executed for data transfers between each as specified in the EU DPA.
Focus on developing and deploying stand-out applications while keeping your sites secure with top-tier cloud security governance. We’ve created and enforced numerous internal information security policies and procedures to ensure our team complies with information security rules and guidelines. Encompassing the core aspects of information security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Learn more.
Platform.sh is compliant with the major global security and privacy standards that ensure customer privacy—including the requirement to pass penetration testing. To certify the integrity and standards compliance of our applications, we take great care when scoping and executing application testing. Conducting vulnerability scanning, web application penetration tests, and application-level load testing without causing high network load or violating our terms of service. Learn more.
Scalability
When you need to accommodate unplanned traffic surges, Platform.sh auto-scaling capabilities kick in by detecting site timeouts and immediately triggering an upsize. Whether you’re dealing with millions of requests per hour or managing thousands of applications, you can scale seamlessly. Choose the best architecture model for your applications, access multiple availability zones, use automated code updates, and more.
All Platform.sh dedicated environments are deployed in the same data center—or availability zone —by default to optimize network latency and bandwidth costs. Increase resilience by deploying your production environment to more than one data center, when required, while maintaining the same guaranteed uptime SLA of up to 99.99%. Only available in select AWS regions. Learn more.

Detailed user access and permissions management enables you to specify and control who has access to your projects; only grant users the particular permissions they require to support your application. Add, edit, or remove permissions at any time in alignment with your project’s needs. Learn more.
Access your Platform.sh applications quicker without having to manage multiple login credentials—no matter how many there are. By setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) with a third-party identity provider, you can access all of your applications with a single login. Learn more.
Keep your source code and application dependencies up to date effortlessly with the Platform.sh, out-of-the-box Source Operations feature. Define custom operations—or source operations—to specify commands that commit changes to your project’s repository automatically. Make changes to your codebase, and push changes live immediately. Or direct changes to an isolated development environment to verify before deploying to production. Learn more.
Set up custom scripts that can fire in response to any activity within your application, enabling you to take arbitrary actions automatically via our API. .
Parallel activities enable two activities across all of your environments to occur simultaneously. So you can deliver deployments faster, especially when it comes to production cron jobs. Learn more.
Observability
With integrated Blackfire application-performance-management tools, you can identify how, when, and where performance is impacted. Get a real-time view of your applications and services resources’ usage, and identify and monitor bottlenecks on any of your services, on any of your running environments.
Use the power of data to make the most effective decisions to optimize your code performance. Accurately measure your code’s resource consumption, gain a better understanding of your code’s behavior, and identify performance bottlenecks with Blackfire Profiling. Learn more.
Sit back, relax, and receive automatic health notifications to alert you to global disk space changes on a project. Project admins will automatically receive an email to share warning, critical, or all-clear messages about global disk space usage in advance. So there’s ample time to make decisions and keep projects running smoothly. Learn more.
Easily monitor and investigate project errors with third-party-integrated log forwarding (including New Relic, Splunk, and Sumo Logic). Retain a greater number of logs from both the CLI and within the Platform.sh Console, enabling an efficient, thorough investigation when needed. Learn more.
