Do I need a Dockerfile for Django?

Not on while: your app is detected and installed from requirements.txt. At Scaleway, you build the image yourself.

Can my agent configure Django for production?

Yes: it configures Django for production, security included, and serves it with gunicorn.

Which ones host in France?

All four: Scalingo, Clever Cloud, Scaleway and while.

Best Django hosting in 2026: 4 options compared

Your Django app has to run in France, with its PostgreSQL database, and with no server to maintain. Here are the PaaS platforms that do it, and what each one allows when your AI agent is the one deploying.

The right choice depends on your app

Do your apps handle health data, or do your customers require certifications? Choose Scalingo: it is ISO 27001 certified and offers health data hosting¹.
Does your team prefer to assemble its own cloud building blocks? Choose Scaleway: containers, database and network are separate products there, with a region in France².
Do you want your AI agent to deploy your Django app, without a Dockerfile? Choose while: Django is detected there and started with gunicorn, and its database is backed up every day.

The comparison

Host	Your AI agent	The database	In France	To get started
Scalingo	No official MCP server: the command line	Managed PostgreSQL, with point-in-time recovery over 7 to 30 days³	Yes⁴	€7.20 for the container and €7.20 for the database, per month⁵
Clever Cloud	A local MCP server, still young⁶	PostgreSQL free on the DEV plan, then from €4.90 per month⁷	Yes, by default⁸	From €4.50 for the app⁹, and the database free on DEV, then €4.90⁷, per month
Scaleway	An MCP server in the CLI, with every command open by default¹⁰	Managed PostgreSQL, one backup per day kept 7 days¹¹	Yes, in its French region²	Containers billed by usage, with a free tier every month¹³, and the database from about €11 per month¹²
while	An MCP server with OAuth: sensitive actions wait for your approval	PostgreSQL backed up every day, with point-in-time recovery over 14 days¹⁴	Yes, with Nextmap, a French company	€0 to get started, then €13.75 per month for an app and its database

Scalingo, built for compliance

Scalingo is built for compliance, with ISO 27001 and health data hosting, and it responds to critical incidents in under 15 minutes on average¹.

Clever Cloud, in France by default

Clever Cloud runs your apps in France by default⁸, in many languages.

Scaleway, containers on demand

Scaleway runs your containers from zero to 200 instances depending on demand, in a European cloud².

while, Django deployed by your AI agent

Your AI agent deploys your Django app over MCP, without a Dockerfile: it adds gunicorn, applies the migrations at every startup and connects the PostgreSQL database, which is backed up every day. Sensitive actions, like deleting a production database, wait for your approval, and your agent reads the database in SQL, without being able to write to it.
