Gravity Forms vs Scalingo
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Gravity Forms and Scalingo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Gravity Forms vs Scalingo: at a glance
What is Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms keeps its add-on catalog ticking: Gravity Flow 3.1.2 and Klaviyo 1.0.1.
The newest releases are point updates: Gravity Flow 3.1.2, the workflow automation add-on, and Klaviyo 1.0.1, the email marketing integration's first patch. They follow Gravity Flow extension patches for Vacation Requests and Stripe a day earlier, CLI 1.9.1, and a security-focused core 3.1.3 at the start of October.
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo puts JDK 27 and Python 3.15 on the platform days after upstream release.
Scalingo's changelog is mostly platform upkeep: this week brought JDK 27, Python 3.15.0, Go 1.27.2, four Node.js versions, new Tomcat Webapp Runner defaults and nginx 1.30.6. The one recent product change is Application Firewall, which blocks public HTTP/HTTPS traffic from outside allowed IPv4 ranges before it reaches containers. CLI 1.50.0 revokes the API token on logout.

Gravity Forms
6.3DEVOPS
Gravity Forms keeps its add-on catalog ticking: Gravity Flow 3.1.2 and Klaviyo 1.0.1.
◆ Current state
The newest releases are point updates: Gravity Flow 3.1.2, the workflow automation add-on, and Klaviyo 1.0.1, the email marketing integration's first patch. They follow Gravity Flow extension patches for Vacation Requests and Stripe a day earlier, CLI 1.9.1, and a security-focused core 3.1.3 at the start of October.
◆ Where it's heading
Gravity Flow is where most release activity happens, through the main add-on and its payment, HR and PDF extensions. Core moves through frequent 3.1.x patches with a security emphasis, and integrations such as Klaviyo get early fixes after launch.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.1.x core patches and further add-on point releases. The entries show no sign of a larger core release.
Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo puts JDK 27 and Python 3.15 on the platform days after upstream release.
◆ Current state
Scalingo's changelog is mostly platform upkeep: this week brought JDK 27, Python 3.15.0, Go 1.27.2, four Node.js versions, new Tomcat Webapp Runner defaults and nginx 1.30.6. The one recent product change is Application Firewall, which blocks public HTTP/HTTPS traffic from outside allowed IPv4 ranges before it reaches containers. CLI 1.50.0 revokes the API token on logout.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is competing on currency and safe defaults rather than new surface area: new language runtimes land within days, and security moves into the platform through the firewall and ModSecurity in the nginx buildpack. The rest of the work keeps runtimes and managed databases current.
◆ Prediction
IPv6 ranges or per-route rules are the obvious follow-ups for Application Firewall, since the launch covers IPv4 only. Otherwise expect a steady stream of runtime and database image releases.
