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).

I assume you mean rent them from a US company?

No, they are French, based in France.

Does Scalingo offers free plan like Heroku?

They have a free trial, not a free plan. Free plan is for 30 days and does not require a credit card.

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

I've used it for a couple of projects and it works great! The CLI tools are really helpful

Unfortunately, we had to discontinue our free plan. Too much work for no money :/ We setup a free trial instead (30 days, no credit card required).

Yup I have, and it's pretty much everything you expect a PaaS to be. The S container feels way faster than a HK dyno, imho.

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

In fact we started the project in june 2013 because even though we were very fond of the way of thinking proposed by Heroku (git push and that's all), their pricing was way too high to target a lot more people.

How is it with plugins and Scalingo? We use a lot of heroku plugins for mongodb, logging, monitoring etc.

"they should clarify if they own the servers or rent them to an US cloud company (Amazon / MS etc)."

I think that was a grammatical question. As in, they don't rent to AWS or MS, but from them. (not that they actually do either)
