We deploy Java and Scala backend applications, with postgreSQL, Redis and Elasticsearch add-ons. The solution is very simple (basically, you do a git push to Clever-cloud and voilà). The tooling is good (you can use a CLI to deploy from your localhost or to fetch logs). What I like the most about Clevercloud is the Support team. They are always helpful and they can help you when you need. > > **Cons**: It's not a Container as a Service solution. You can deploy a Docker container (we did that for Keycloak), but it's not the most natural approach with Clever-cloud > > What we also like is the auto-scaling featuer. We are conferences's organizer. During our events we need maybe 4 active servers, to host and to server between 5000 to 10,000 attendees. But once the tradeshow is over, we don't need such power in term of CPU/Memory. Clever-cloud has a native auto-scaling system that save a lot of cash. You pay only for what you consume. ----- ### "CLEVER reviewed by a 2 year user" — 4.0/5 > **Sherin Anne** | *26 September 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its high level of ease in integration with multiple platforms > > **Cons**: it requires more additional features in the areas of data import ----- ### "A game changer about web software deployment" — 5.0/5 > **Mathieu** | *17 June 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of deployment process among the quality of the documentation. > > **Cons**: I miss some ways to deployment software in 'dev' envrionement, espacially for PHP. I would like to be able to configure my deployment for a target environement (prod, dev, test ...). The main bottleneck for PHP is that by default the deployment process install Composer dependancies without the flag --dev. It could be useful to configure it through an ENV var in the console > > I saved many days about writing deployment script and maintain workflow ----- ### "A must have" — 5.0/5 > **Christophe** | *12 June 2020* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Deployment easy Scalabity automatic Great support > > **Cons**: More reporting or statistics on resources (database,...) > > I use it for all my backend development (Django) usually related to mobile application i develop. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/310527/clever-cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/310527/clever-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
