What is Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud is a European Platform as a Service for deploying, running, and scaling web applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. It supports many programming languages and runtimes, managed databases, Docker, object storage, autoscaling, monitoring, and deployment through Git or its CLI.

Overview

Clever Cloud is a French PaaS founded in 2010. It provides managed application hosting with automatic scaling, continuous deployment, monitoring, and managed infrastructure services. Developers can deploy applications using Git, the Clever Tools CLI, API, or supported integrations. Supported runtimes include Docker, Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Go, Rust, Elixir, .NET, Haskell, Scala, static applications, and others. Clever Cloud also provides managed databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch, along with object storage, file-system buckets, and other cloud services. Resources are billed by the second, with autoscaling configurable to stay within a defined spending limit.
