Scalingo vs Sanity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Scalingo and Sanity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Scalingo vs Sanity: at a glance
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo makes Node.js 26 the default runtime across its stacks.
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. On November 9 its Application Firewall became available for all applications, with CLI 1.52.0 adding commands to manage the rules. On November 12 it added Node.js 22.23.5, 24.22.3 and 26.13.1 and made the latest Node 26 the default on every stack, including for Ruby apps.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.
Scalingo vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side
Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo makes Node.js 26 the default runtime across its stacks.
◆ Current state
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. On November 9 its Application Firewall became available for all applications, with CLI 1.52.0 adding commands to manage the rules. On November 12 it added Node.js 22.23.5, 24.22.3 and 26.13.1 and made the latest Node 26 the default on every stack, including for Ruby apps.
◆ Where it's heading
The month mixes new edge security controls with steady runtime upkeep. Moving the default to the current LTS line soon after it appears keeps new apps on current versions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the firewall to gain more options, IPv6 ranges being the obvious gap, alongside the usual buildpack updates.
Sanity
6.3DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
◆ Current state
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
