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 centralizes its AI context layer in a dedicated dashboard app while running the most active MCP release sprint yet.
Sanity is actively building a dual-mode platform: one surface for human authors (Studio), and a growing dedicated layer for AI agent workflows (the Context app and MCP server). Context v2.0.0 marks a structural milestone — Insights and MCP endpoint configuration move out of Studio into a standalone dashboard app, with existing MCP context documents still editable in Studio for backward compatibility. The MCP server has shipped four releases in two weeks, the densest activity in its history.
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo phases out swap memory for application containers, shifting OOM behavior for new and restarted apps starting September 2026.
Scalingo is implementing a breaking platform change: new applications created after September 1, 2026 no longer receive swap memory, and existing applications will have their swap limit reduced to 25% of container memory on their next restart. The rest of the changelog is routine buildpack version updates across PHP, Go, Java, and Python.
Sanity vs Scalingo: editorial side-by-side
Sanity
10.0DEVOPS
Sanity centralizes its AI context layer in a dedicated dashboard app while running the most active MCP release sprint yet.
◆ Current state
Sanity is actively building a dual-mode platform: one surface for human authors (Studio), and a growing dedicated layer for AI agent workflows (the Context app and MCP server). Context v2.0.0 marks a structural milestone — Insights and MCP endpoint configuration move out of Studio into a standalone dashboard app, with existing MCP context documents still editable in Studio for backward compatibility. The MCP server has shipped four releases in two weeks, the densest activity in its history.
◆ Where it's heading
The Studio plugin deprecation in Context v2.0.0 is a clear signal: Sanity is separating the AI workflow surface from the human authoring surface as a permanent architectural choice, not an experiment. The MCP server releases adding local schema editing, exact dataset name support, and document/identity tool improvements suggest rapid iteration in response to developer feedback from teams actually running AI agents against Sanity content. The React App SDK v3.0 (background revalidation, simplified resource config) indicates investment on both the human and headless-app sides.
◆ Prediction
The next step is likely deeper workflow integration: MCP tools that can trigger Studio publish events or manage document status transitions, enabling AI agents to move content through editorial workflows rather than just reading and writing raw document fields.
Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo phases out swap memory for application containers, shifting OOM behavior for new and restarted apps starting September 2026.
◆ Current state
Scalingo is implementing a breaking platform change: new applications created after September 1, 2026 no longer receive swap memory, and existing applications will have their swap limit reduced to 25% of container memory on their next restart. The rest of the changelog is routine buildpack version updates across PHP, Go, Java, and Python.
◆ Where it's heading
Removing swap reflects a broader PaaS trend toward tighter memory boundaries, forcing applications to be correctly sized rather than relying on disk-backed swap as an overflow buffer. For memory-inefficient applications, this will surface OOM restarts that were previously masked. Existing applications have until end of 2026 before the full cutover.
◆ Prediction
Scalingo will likely follow the swap removal with tighter memory monitoring tooling or sizing recommendations to help customers identify applications relying on swap before the end-of-2026 cutover for existing apps.
