Somewhat paradoxically, the biggest change of the past few months is also the least visible from the outside: the strengthening of our “Clever Cloud Everywhere” approach.
An open cloud platform that adapts anywhere, to your needs
Because we are more than a PaaS provider with our own infrastructures,we offer our customers the ability to deploy their applications and services with our partners (Ionos, OVHcloud, Scaleway, Cloud Temple, etc.), or even on their own servers, for use cases ranging from edge deployments (local machines) to fully air-gapped environments (disconnected from the Internet).
So, you don’t have to adapt to the constraints of our cloud, the opposite is true. In 2025, a growing number of customers asked us for fine-grained adjustments to fit their needs, which we are always happy to provide. As a result, if you want your own Clever Cloud, that’s entirely possible: we can supply partner hardware or install our platform on infrastructure you already have. This is precisely how we operate outside of Paris.
Moreover, after opening a zone in London and establishing partnerships in West Africa and Kazakhstan, we have also announced our new Moroccan subsidiary. At the same time, we continue to strengthen our local presence, through our integration into the Fabrique IA Territoriale in Pays de la Loire, our support for startups via the UP Program, and our partnership with the German company SpiNNcloud to build a European computing platform for AI.
Kubernetes at Clever Cloud
Another major milestone reached by our teams is the launch of Clever Kubernetes Engine (CKE), our managed Kubernetes offering. It is currently available to a limited number of customers who are actively using it, and can already be accessed through our API, Clever Tools, and the Console. It will be opened more broadly in the coming weeks.
Two new points of presence in Paris
This expansion of our services goes hand in hand with an expansion of our infrastructure, as we move from 3 to 5 datacenters in the Paris region. We have begun our deployment both in Vélizy with our partner Etix and by strengthening our partnership with TeleHouse through a presence at TH3 (Magny).
This will enable us to meet our customers’ growing infrastructure needs while preparing the introduction of new services, such as our forthcoming Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering, which you should hear more about next year.
Are you Clever Cloud certified?
2025 was also the year we launched our first certification program, which had been highly requested by several of our customers and partners. This first step was accompanied by the continued strengthening of our sales team over the past few months. A second, intermediate-level course is arriving very soon.
This will allow us to better support you on a daily basis and take the time to address your needs, while multiplying workshops and training sessions—both in person, via webinars and through live streams on YouTube and Twitch. Next step: Clever Cloud ambassadors!
Clever Tools, Console, services: continuous improvement
Naturally, we have continued to improve our long-standing PaaS solution by releasing new images and features every week. Integration has become faster as well, with updates such as Node.js 24 and Java 25 now supported, along with improved compatibility for pnpm and Yarn alongside Bun. .NET 10 and PHP 8.5 are next in line.
We are also gradually shortening update cycles for several database services. As a result, PostgreSQL 18 is already available, and Redis 8.4 as well as Elasticsearch 9 are on the way. disponible. Redis 8.4 et ElasticSearch 9 arrivent.
In addition, we have kept strengthening the managed services we offer across the platform, including Keycloak, Matomo, Metabase, and Otoroshi. All of them are now available in their latest versions, with the ability to manage updates at creation time and from the Console dashboard, as well as to enable advanced features when needed.
Thus, we introduced Secure Multi Instances in Keycloak a few months ago, leveraging our Network Groups. These groups can also be enabled in a single click within the Otoroshi API Gateway to connect multiple applications. Otoroshi now also supports loading third-party plugins and configuring domains at creation time.
Other services continue to evolve as well. For example, Materia KV is now available in beta and will keep improving ahead of its planned general availability early next year. Similarly, Apache Pulsar will reach the same milestone soon, with updated pricing to accompany the release.
Our offering is also becoming increasingly accessible through a tool we significantly strengthened this year to support some of our customers’ needs: our provider Terraform. After reaching version 1.0 this summer, it is now available as version 1.7.1,providing a wide range of capabilities. Feel free to try it out and share your feedback and suggestions.
Clever Tools and Console evolve, paving the way for 2026
Clever Tools can now be executed via npx, support the new drains, and have gained numerous features over the past months. We began a major redesign with version 4.0, released last September. And this work will continue throughout 2026.
In the Console, we recently rolled out our new interface for access logs, with add-on logs coming next. We will progressively extend the new dashboards to all our services, then integrate Network Groups and introduce a native management interface for our object storage solution, Cellar.
But the most significant shift has been the deeper redesign of the Console itself. This work comes alongside new APIs aimed at modernising the platform and the services it provides, with the same goal as always: making developers’ lives easier.
his progress is also supported by foundational work carried out quietly throughout the year: the complete overhaul of our JavaScript client. Easier to use, more complete, type-safe, and managing API Tokens, it will serve as the basis for several upcoming initiatives we will announce soon.
Want to know more? Join us at ACCES!
As you can see, 2025 has been a year full of updates and significant changes for Clever Cloud and our team. And 2026 is set to follow the same trajectory. To see what’s coming next, feel free to join us at the Amazing Clever Cloud Enterprise Summit (ACCES) taking place next week during FOST (formerly apidays). We will host a pavilion with several of our clients and partners to showcase what we are preparing for the months ahead — from Clever IA to Materia TS to our KMS.
