Sanity vs Scalingo
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Sanity and Scalingo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Sanity vs Scalingo: at a glance
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo blocks exploit traffic at the router while customers patch Node.js and PHP.
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. This week was mostly incident response: the router now rejects Brotli-encoded requests to existing Node.js apps and multipart requests to PHP apps, base images drop CA trust paths affected by the eMudhra compromise, and patched PHP and Python versions shipped. A CLI command lets apps toggle the multipart block themselves.

Sanity

Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
◆ Current state
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is becoming the main way agents read and write Sanity content, and the work has shifted from adding tools to making it safe and findable: guarded patches, accurate safety annotations, full schema lifecycle and discovery metadata. Studio and Manage continue alongside it with speed work and admin features for larger organizations.
◆ Prediction
Expect workspaceName to be removed after the migration period, and more guardrails on write tools such as patch_documents.
Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo blocks exploit traffic at the router while customers patch Node.js and PHP.
◆ Current state
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. This week was mostly incident response: the router now rejects Brotli-encoded requests to existing Node.js apps and multipart requests to PHP apps, base images drop CA trust paths affected by the eMudhra compromise, and patched PHP and Python versions shipped. A CLI command lets apps toggle the multipart block themselves.
◆ Where it's heading
Scalingo is using its routing layer as a shield, filtering vulnerable traffic before it reaches unpatched apps and then giving control back to customers through the CLI and SDK. The pattern is to protect by default and let customers opt out explicitly. Normal buildpack updates continue underneath.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Brotli and multipart filters to become configurable in the dashboard, as Scalingo has promised for multipart, and to be relaxed once patched runtimes are widely deployed.
