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.
PROSClever-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.
CONSIt'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
PROSThe ease of deployment process among the quality of the documentation.
CONSI 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.

Great product, almost a 10/10!
Great overall experience, I recommend Clever Cloud for all my new projects now!
PROSSuper easy integration and setup: deploying multiple applications with a database is really quick and the documentation is helpful and up-to-date. Also, vertical and horizontal scaling is very easy to configure and you'll pay only what you've used.
CONSThe database pricing which is separated from the credits: I would like to pay only for credits, and that the database, which is invoiced each month, use my credits to be paid. It would avoid me multiple transactions, especially when using a currency that is not Euro.
Reason for choosing Clever Cloud
The North America datacenter which is located in Montréal, Canada
Reasons for switching to Clever Cloud

No more hosting and scalability issues
Clever Cloud allowed us to focus on our product and customers, instead of dealing with servers and infrastructure issues.
PROSI like that Clever Cloud deal with servers and network in order for us to run our apps without caring about infrastructure.
CONSDeploying on clever cloud asks the app to be fully gitable.
Reason for choosing Clever Cloud
Best support and nice team to work with.

PaaS the easy way
The easiest PaaS I have used so far to deploy application.(and by app I mean any app and/or language) You can easily configure everything from the console UI, but there is also a solid CLI for your ci/cd process. Great pricing and world class support.
CONSI miss a solid metrics dashboard and a more easy to use log inspector.

It automated our ops needs, avoiding us to recruit someone + spend time maintaining manually an infra. With a lot of ease
PROSThe dev product made by devs, for devs. It feels awesome to use it and made us drop many unneeded systems: - specific machines for deployment - slow pipelines - high aws data transfer costs - ...
CONSThe sluggish UI, sometimes does not load, some workarounds to do to integrate with the cc build.
Reason for choosing Clever Cloud
French one, solved the issue, price and team (support is amazing)
Reasons for switching to Clever Cloud
Machines failing sometimes, legacy stack on docker swarm hard to maintain and evolve. High aws costs for nothing

Easy deployment and not worry about uptime
Once software is deployed, it's in the hands of Clever Cloud. It allows me to focus on my code and not worry about handling downtimes.
CONSSetting up the build pack needs a bit of work, but once it's done, it works great.
Reason for choosing Clever Cloud
The hassle of maintaining an uptime isn't worth it. It's something Clever Cloud does well and it's more peace of mind.

insatisfaisant
aucun, ils ont été déficient pendant toute la durée de la prestation
CONSaucune fiabilité, les serveurs tombaient tous les 2 ou 3 jours, nous avons trouvé un autre hebergeur qui a su gérer notre infra pour un budget 2 fois moins élevé et ensuite ils ont continué à facturer de mauvaise foi.
Vendor Response
Cher client anonyme, Nous sommes désolés quand un client n'est pas satisfait de notre service. Un seul client dans votre secteur ces 12 derniers mois nous a quitté donc nous avons une idée de quelle entreprise laisse ce commentaire vindicatif, et donc de ses raisons. Vos besoins spécifiques sur des serveurs tiers avec une architecture particulière que nous avions déconseillée, ont été incompatibles avec notre plateforme. Nous avons fait tout les efforts pour résoudre les instabilités en acceptant ce risque avec vous. Nous avons hélas échoué à être au niveau de vos attentes. Ainsi nous vous avons proposé de prendre à notre charge une grande partie de votre facture, ce qui fut accepté. Les factures contestées sont celles que vous aviez accepté de payer à l'amiable. Nous regrettons que vous les contestiez désormais pour ensuite porter atteinte à notre réputation anonymement. Nous sommes heureux que vos services soient stables, et vous prions de croire que nous vous souhaitons le meilleur.
