"title":"How Le Wagon teaches thousands of students to code with Scalingo",
"description":"Le Wagon hosted their Ruby on Rails applications on Heroku until they encountered a limitation for their educational platform. The purpose of this application is to test the students' code to see if it is good. The application then sends a message back to the student indicating whether their code is correct or incorrect, similar to continuous integration. The tests designed by the pedagogical team worked well locally on the students' machines but did not run correctly on Heroku, in the absence of SQLIte headers on the machines offered on this PaaS. Following this problem, they turned to Scalingo to host Le Wagon's applications. The goal was to have a stable infrastructure that did not require human intervention.",

"title":"Building the biggest European electromobility platform with Scalingo",
"description":"Chargemap is a community database gathering charging stations for electric vehicles (EV). The technical infrastructure of Chargemap has changed a lot in the past 7-8 years. Because their business has also changed a lot they had to adapt and create new softwares continuously so they did not want to spend hours configuring servers anymore.

In short, they wanted flexibility, scalability, performance, stability, and most importantly: they wanted to be able to focus on their real job. Scalingo was the ideal partner to help in this change process. From the beginning what were seducing was the speed with which they have been deploying new versions and new applications.",

It is an incredible comfort compared to previous solution Heroku.",
