2 open-source bricks offered by Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud is a member of the consortium and offers 2 of the seven major technology bricks:

  • Sōzu: A lightweight, extremely fast and secure reverse proxy designed for ultra-mutualized environments. Sozu enables configuration changes to be managed with zero downtime, ensuring continuous availability and optimum performance ;
  • Biscuit: A tokenized solution for identity and access management (IAM) in cloud and edge computing environments. Invented at Clever Cloud and supported by a growing community of contributors, Biscuit offers security and authentication features superior to traditional solutions such as cookies, JWT and Macaroons.

Applications must be submitted by July 31, 2024 via a form available on the Cap Digital website.
