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.

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.

Why we (finally) built our own managed Kubernetes

At Clever Cloud, we held off for a long time before offering a managed Kubernetes service. Not out of technological reluctance, Kubernetes is a great tool… but it was never designed to make developers’ lives easier.
