PHP Hosting You Can Count On

Engine Yard is the leading platform as a service (PaaS) for all your web application hosting and management needs.

Simple Deployment Experience
Application deployment has never been easier. We have reduced the time it takes to deploy new apps from days to minutes with a quick one click deployment directly from your Github repository. Simply write your code, commit your changes and just push to the remote repository. Based on your Dockerfile, an image will be built and the containers that will run your application will be deployed. You get out of the box support for PHP. You can also run your code without any customization. Engine Yard automatically analyzes your code, creates containers, and runs them on Kubernetes clusters.
Fully Managed Service
Engine Yard enables you to focus on building your apps by managing the rest for you. Our platform automation takes care of the configuration, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of your application in the cloud. We make sure all aspects of application management are covered including installing your code and configuring a hardened runtime environment, including OS, language, and database environments. We automatically do the planning for replication, backup, and recovery. You can also stay up to date once you deploy your environment. with regular stack updates for both security patches and new functionality. The engine yard platform lives within your private and isolated account, which means that you share no resources with anyone. This is a unique feature in terms of security and compliance. Our platform also automatically configures all security groups and firewalls to minimize exposure.
Designed For Scale & Performance
Using Engine Yard you can automatically scale your application by not having to worry about provisioning infrastructure based on planned usage. Your app can run upto 50% faster with our highly optimized infrastructure stack. The Engine Yard platform uses containers for speed and agility as well as flexibility. Based on cpu, memory, or even custom business rules, you can set the auto scaling policy that makes your application ready to serve an increased number of requests, whenever this is needed. You can also keep costs low and easily optimize resource utilization as you scale. The platform monitors application performance and uses these insights to intelligently rightsize infrastructure using machine learning technologies. You can maximize availability with rolling deployments meaning no downtime during deployments. Engine Yard leverages 12 factor app principles for a modern application deployment and management experience.

ChannelEyes chose Engine Yard because we were looking for a reliable and scalable platform for a Rails-based social media platform. The support team has been highly responsive, and we've saved countless hours by relying on their technical expertise with deploying high-traffic Rails apps. With that time savings, our developers were able to focus on pushing the technical envelope with multi-layer security, a unique friending engine, as well as messaging.

Engine Yard has helped us save hundreds of hours on infrastructure work and on deployments. For Ruby on Rails applications, it has been the best PaaS provider for years.

David Zumbrunnen,

Software Engineer, Oxon

We recommend Engine Yard Cloud to all of our clients, including Toyota Kenya, because we get huge time and cost savings. We would need another 5 people to manage infrastructure internally. Instead, we rely on Engine Yard, and we focus our developers on writing code which keeps them and our customers happy.
