The problem with layering complex solutions on top of infrastructure from another vendor is that there is little clarity about who is responsible for different parts of the solution. My own website recently had a lengthy outage the causes of which were not initially obvious.Scaling, collaboration, security and new-feature deployment are all handled by the platform. In some ways I’m conceptually troubled by the rise of this class of hosting vendors, for a couple of different reasons: In terms of how it works, Pantheon is a multi-tenant, container-based cloud platform that enables website teams to build, launch, and run all of their websites from a single dashboard. And it seems to be working, since its launch, Pantheon has amassed some 65,000 websites with some doing over 100 million page views per day – the value prop for those website owners is that Pantheon relieves their internal staff of the duties related to setting up, maintaining and scaling the underlying infrastructure upon which their websites run.
