From the Console to Terraform: import your existing Clever Cloud infrastructure as code (IaC)
Nobody starts with Terraform. You create your first application in the Console, add a PostgreSQL database with Clever Tools, then a Redis instance, a Cellar bucket, and a “temporary” staging environment that is about to turn two. One morning, the organisation has forty resources, and nobody can say why the production application runs on two M instances instead of one, or who changed that variable on a Friday evening.
Configure SSO with Keycloak
To configure single sign-on (SSO) with Keycloak, deploy Keycloak as an identity provider, then create a dedicated realm separate from master and a client for each application.
Clever Cloud expands to five availability zones in the Paris region to strengthen infrastructure resilience
With two new locations at ETIX and Telehouse, Clever Cloud continues to expand its distributed infrastructure in the Paris region. This investment strengthens the resilience of its platform and relies on equipment supplied by European manufacturers.
Teach your AI assistant Clever Cloud: the clever-tools skill
Coding assistants can now run commands in your terminal. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Copilot can create an application, push code, read logs. They still need to know the tools they're using.
What Is the SAML 2.0 Authentication Protocol Used For?
SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that enables Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple domains. It delegates authentication to a central identity provider, which sends each application a signed “assertion” proving the user’s identity, without requiring the user to re-enter or share their password with each application.

How We Deployed a Vinext Application in Minutes on Clever Cloud with AI
Cloudflare has just announced Vinext, a drop-in replacement for Next.js built on Vite. The project is vibecoded, experimental, but the promise is compelling: builds up to 4x faster, bundles 57% lighter, and 94% coverage of the Next.js API. We wanted to see how easy it would be to deploy it on Clever Cloud.
New IAM feature: what our Managed Keycloak offers today
Since its launch, Keycloak as a Service has evolved significantly to meet the concrete needs of businesses and the requirements of operating IAM at scale.
Elasticsearch Observability: logs, metrics, and traces explained
Modern architectures generate ever-growing volumes of data. Microservices, APIs, cloud workloads, and serverless environments multiply potential failure points. In this context, understanding what is really happening in production has become a central challenge.
ELK Stack: what it is used for and how to use it for observability
Understanding what is really happening inside a modern application has become increasingly complex. Microservices, cloud environments, and the growing number of physical or virtual servers all contribute to an explosion of technical signals. This distribution makes so-called “traditional” log analysis—based on directly connecting to a single machine—hard to sustain at scale.
Identity Access Management: pillar of security and compliance
Identity Access Management (IAM) is now one of the foundations of information system security and governance.…
Deployment variables got more consistent
When deploying your applications to Clever Cloud, you can configure the build and start of your application or secondary services using Environment Variables.
