Looks interesting for Europeans that don't want their servers accessed / seized by the FBI, but they should clarify if they own the servers or rent them to an US cloud company (Amazon / MS etc).

On their data-center page they just show a map with their 2 data-centers (both are in France, they might use OVH).

Yep, you're right, we'll clarify that: we're renting bare metal servers from a french company which is not OVH http://www.agora-hosting.net/

Has anyone used scalingo? How has the experience been? The pricing is favourable but I've never heard of them.

Maybe they're leveraging the recent outrage over Heroku/CISA? https://www.youbetrayedus.org/heroku/

Which isn't even a thing. https://www.salesforce.com/company/news-press/press-releases...

This is very nice to see another contender in the PaaS arena, one that also uses the mechanisms Heroku put in place. What really remains to be seen, however, is the reliability of the service. Our production app has been on Heroku for over a year now and we've had very little issue with things, and there is certainly a lot that can go wrong in a complex environment.

I assume you mean rent them from a US company?
