# Exoscale launches the first Swiss Platform as a Service - PaaS

During the dotScale 2014 Paris conference, Exoscale launched the first Swiss
PaaS solution. Platform as a Service simplifies the deployment and scalability
of web applications. The service completely masks the infrastructure layer and
handles the high availability and load balancing of traffic to web containers
and workers.

Powering developers applications in Python, Ruby, PHP, node.js,
Java, Scala and Clojure the new service is integrated into the Exoscale
console. Deployments can be made via the console or a simple to use command
line tool or API. Like all Exoscale products it features a simple usage based
pricing to the minute. The service is available now from Geneva zone and will
be expanded to future zones at a later time.
