Scalingo vs Technitium DNS Server
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Scalingo and Technitium DNS Server — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Scalingo vs Technitium DNS Server: at a glance
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo is back to routine runtime updates after its October router incident.
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. After a week of incident response that included router filters for Brotli and multipart requests, the changelog is back to buildpack updates: new Node.js versions, two rounds of JDK releases, Composer 2.11, fresh Python defaults and, on November 2, nginx 1.31.8 mainline. Python 3.11 is now deprecated.
What is Technitium DNS Server?
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.

Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo is back to routine runtime updates after its October router incident.
◆ Current state
Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. After a week of incident response that included router filters for Brotli and multipart requests, the changelog is back to buildpack updates: new Node.js versions, two rounds of JDK releases, Composer 2.11, fresh Python defaults and, on November 2, nginx 1.31.8 mainline. Python 3.11 is now deprecated.
◆ Where it's heading
The changelog has returned to its normal rhythm of runtime currency. The Python 3.11 deprecation is the one item that will require customer action.
◆ Prediction
Expect more buildpack updates weekly and, at some point, a removal date for Python 3.11; whether the Brotli block on existing Node.js apps is lifted is unclear.
Technitium DNS Server
5.0DEVOPS
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
◆ Current state
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.
◆ Where it's heading
The v15 line keeps extending admin identity, from OIDC to SSO scopes to LDAP, while patch releases arrive every one to two weeks with security fixes. That frequency of reported security issues is the thread to watch.
◆ Prediction
More v15.6.x service updates are likely; whether a v16 line follows is unclear from the feed.
