History
[edit]Upsun was formerly known as Platform.sh,[1][2] a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) company founded in France in 2015 by Frédéric Plais, Damien Tournoud and Ori Pekelman.[3][4] The company was created following the separation of Platform.sh from Commerce Guys, where the technology had originally been developed.[5][6]
Platform.sh developed a platform for testing, deploying and managing web applications through automation of cloud infrastructure and deployment processes.[7][8] It was later expanded to support multiple cloud providers and a broad range of programming languages and frameworks.[9][10]
In 2018, Platform.sh raised a $34 million Series C funding round led by Partech, with participation from Idinvest Partners.[7][11] In 2021, the company acquired Blackfire.io, a software performance monitoring company.[3][12] In 2022, Platform.sh raised $140 million in Series D funding.[13][4]
In September 2025, Platform.sh was renamed Upsun.[1][2]
