Case Study: Gault & Millau achieves digital transformation, rapid deployments and scalable multisite management with Platform.sh

For its 50-year anniversary, Gault & Millau treated itself to digital transformation, agility and scalability

Gault&Millau, the French dining guide, embarked on a large-scale digital transformation to modernize its frontend, backend and database, convert mobile apps to PWAs, and manage dozens of country-specific sites with strictly separated data and subdomain/certificate requirements. To achieve the required agility and scalability, the team engaged Platform.sh (via a SensioLabs cloud infrastructure workshop) and adopted a Symfony-optimized cloud infrastructure and Platform.sh’s dynamic environment capabilities.

Platform.sh provided onboarding and a platform-as-a-service that enabled fast, expandable environments and simplified multisite management; Platform.sh’s setup allowed certificates and subdomains to be configured in days and let developers spin up and pilot dynamic environments quickly. The result: change requests and fixes that once took weeks can now be tested and deployed within an hour, country sites are standardized more easily, fewer hires were needed, and non-DevOps developers can manage the console—delivering measurable time and cost savings.
