Heroku vs Scalingo: What are the differences?
Developers describe Heroku as "Build, deliver, monitor and scale web apps and APIs with a trail blazing developer experience". Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling. On the other hand, Scalingo is detailed as "French Docker based Platform as a Service". Scalingo is a Docker native Platform as a Service. You just have to push your code, our platform takes care of the rest.

Some of the features offered by Heroku are:
