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

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.
