Does anyone in my Django world use Scalingo for hosting? I hadn't heard of it until today, but they've been around for over a decade!
It seems like every time Heroku comes closer to actually closing its doors, we learn about new hosting options.

@ehmatthes I do, as do a lot of people working on websites ending in beta.gouv.fr
@ehmatthes look at this beautiful procfile : https://github.com/betagouv/Aidants_Connect/blob/main/Procfile
@tut_tuuut @ehmatthes That looks very familiar indeed.
@tut_tuuut @ehmatthes @wsvincent Scalingo is clearly a EU-based clone of Heroku. Their buildpacks are forks of Heroku's buildpacks, as you can see here: https://github.com/scalingo?q=&type=fork&language=&sort=. It's a small company, and their backend hosting infrastructure is managed by another French company called Outscale.
@david_guillot @tut_tuuut @ehmatthes @wsvincent The French are paving the way with Qobuz (music), Qwant (search) and La Suite Numérique (office and collab, powered by Django).
@simeon @david_guillot @tut_tuuut @ehmatthes Agreed. We have some correspondence with people at La Suite Numérique to hopefully have them join @djangochat soon to share more about it.
