Devs are just like other workers

Devs are just like other workers. They waste a lot of time with non-productive (and often boring) tasks.

A recently published article from ICT Journal (original report done by Zero Turnaround "Developer Productivity Report 2012") said that developers dedicate only 1/3 of their time to writing code. It represents only an average of 15 hours per week.

As you can see on the graph above, "Overhead tasks" like deployment take 4 hours per week.

Clever Cloud can improve these time consuming tasks and give developers much more time to do what they like (amongst others): working on the codebase.

For example, you can check out the video tutorial we made for deploying a Play! application:

Pretty fast right?

Now just imagine how much time can be saved with this solution.

Using a PaaS (Platform as a Service, for instance Clever Cloud) also allows you to save much time by not doing maintenance on an infrastructure (either your own or an IaaS – Infrastucture as a Service).

Les développeurs sont comme les autres travailleurs. Ils perdent un temps fou avec des tâches non productives (et souvent ennuyeuses).

Une étude récement publiée de ICT Journal (« Developer Productivity Report 2012 », Zero Turnaround, 1 800 développeurs, principalement Java, sondés en ligne) annonce que les développeurs ne passent que 33% de leur temps à coder. Cela représente environ 15 heures par semaine.

Comme vous pouvez le voir sur le graphique plus haut, les "tâches annexes" représentent 4 heures de travail hebdomadaire.

Clever Cloud peut améliorer le temps perdu avec ces tâches et donner aux développeurs plus temps pour faire ce qu'ils aiment (entre autres) : travailler sur le produit.

Vous pouvez par exemple jeter un œil sur le tutorial vidéo du déploiement d'une application Play! :

Rapide, non ?

Maintenant, imaginez combien de temps il est possible de gagner avec cette solution.

Utiliser un PaaS (Platform as a Service – exactement ce que fait Clever Cloud) permet aussi d'économiser beaucoup de temps normalement alloué à la maintenance lorsque vous possédez votre propre infrastrucuture (ou un IaaS – Infrastucture as a Service).

Sōzu 2.0 — turning a reverse proxy into a programmable edge

Sōzu is the reverse proxy that sits in front of every application running on Clever Cloud. After eighteen months of work — first the HTTP/2 multiplexer, built on our existing kawa pivot, then almost every other layer of the proxy, and finally a long run in production on the cleverapps.io load balancers — Sōzu 2.0 is out.

K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?

Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration. But depending on your infrastructure constraints (limited resources, edge computing, IoT, or large-scale enterprise clusters), the distribution you choose can radically change the operational experience. K3s and K8s (upstream Kubernetes) address different needs, even though both share the same CNCF-certified foundation.
