Clever Cloud offers a lot of tools and features that help you automate processes and deploy applications faster. UI is really good and deployment is fast. The pricing system is really nice since you pay only what you effectively use.
Their support team is really great and tries to help you with everything.
CleverCloud offers dedicated hosting for a lot of technologies, like Java, PHP, NodJS. As a real PaaS (Platform as a Service), they manage your platform and make your code run, directly from a build of your source code from a git repository. This means your application needs to be immutable once builded for production (twelve factor app methodology). Note that you can also simply push an already builded application.
This is very efficient. You don't need to configure any server or container, nor to manage any update or reboot. Your application monitoring, your domain names redirection and free certificates, the corresponding metrics (technical and/or self provided) and your logs are *all* automatically managed. The same goes for your technical dependencies, like database, cache, file repository. A lot of options are available, also with automatic installation and management. You can even pair your infrastructure to an ELK (Elastic) stack.
The support team is great and answer very fast (when being in Europe). Last, but not least, the prices are really interesting for that level of quality. There are free developper plans you can use for trying by yourself, and they are not limited in quantity. Really worth giving a try.
