Perfect solution for PaaS with a good human support when needed

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.

PROS

Clever-cloud is a simple platform as a service solution we've been using for the Devoxx conferences since 2016. 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

Reason for choosing Clever Cloud

- Price - Hosting in Europe that is compliant with GDPR - Cheaper than Heroku

Reasons for switching to Clever Cloud

- Price - It's almost impossible to compute your monthly invoice with AWS, there's always "surprises" - I don't have a dedicated DevOps team and I prefer a solution that just take my code and deploy it

A game changer about web software deployment

I saved many days about writing deployment script and maintain workflow

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

Reason for choosing Clever Cloud

Because it's French, because they know their subject very well, they are considered as expert in PaaS. Their talks in conference are very interesting. And their product fit perfectly with my needs.
