Dans cet épisode nous parlons de Matomo, une alternative à Google Analytics sur Clever Cloud et de notre nouveau Ticket Center. Il sera également question de Franglais, de NixOS, de la version 0.22 de Vector, de couleurs, de CSS, de prédiction, de Quickwit 0.3 et d'éditeur de tableau dans IntelliJ... Et nous finirons en musique (enfin on espère !) avec la recommandation de notre invité.

👋 Venez discuter avec nous sur @clever_cloudFR pour nous dire ce que vous avez pensé de ce nouvel épisode.

It's already been a couple of weeks since we introduced you to our revamped console. And as we wrote at that time, we are not stopping there. We are always working on new stuff to make your life easier.

Today we introduce you to our new filtering system built with love by Arnaud and Hubert. As you might have seen already we have merged apps and add-ons. So in the same list you end up having apps that uses different runtime and build tools as well as various add-ons. We are now allowing you to filter this list based on these specifics.

If you type is:redis in the filter field you will only see your Redis add-ons. If you type is:node you will only see nodejs applications. It's that simple. And of course you can combine these filters or use them with the usual name search:

• is:java is:jar
• is:java is:sbt
• is:java ACME
• is:java prod

Now you might be wondering, how does this work? What can I use as filter? For add-ons we use their slug. Here's the list:

mysql
postgresql
redis
cellar
fs-bucket
config-provider
mongodb

For applications it's more subtle. You can use their type or their variant slug. What is a variant you ask? Well it's something we use internally to put different sort of automation secret sauce on our VM images. Take for instance the node image type. It has two variants. One is node which is pretty much the default behavior for node.js applications. The other is meteor, used for Meteor.js applications, which installs Meteor and runs specific build and run tasks. If you look at the java type you will see we have a number of variants representing the different ways to deploy JVM code with different build tools.

Type            Variant Name            Variant Slug
--------------------------------------------------------
python          Python                  python

erlang          Elixir                  elixir

For future releases, we're also thinking about filters like is:running, is:stopped, sort:status, sort:type. We might also add Tags which are already available in our API. If you would like to filter this list based on other characteristic please let us know in the comments below :)

First, the new status icons

A new filter field

Then, the new app overview

• We are now displaying current status, with some additional details on it (git commit, etc.)
• The runtime of the app is now clearly displayed with an icon

• The instances list (reusing the new status icon) is visually optimized
• The scalability settings (read-only) are now shown
• And we've added info about the two last deployments

Oooh, I log you so 🎶

Let's wrap-up

What about some moar

• Global create button on top (new apps/addons panel)
• Variant/runtime icon next to the app (new apps/addons panel)
• Refreshed icons/shape for app creation
• Refreshed icons/shape for addon creation

A future moving forward

Hello from Team Clever Cloud!

We are quite excited to release a major new version of our Dashboard.
It includes a lot of bug fixes as well as a few additions. We've included automatics payments, a design refresh, an activity feed, a better log management. And a nice GitHub integration too.

So today we’re launching these new features, and I'd like to detail some of them:

GitHub

As you may have noticed, the GitHub button showed up recently on the Clever Cloud website and our login & signup forms.
This feature aims to simplify the login & signup process, but also to bring your GitHub repositories to Clever Cloud.

Automatic Payments

We used to base our billing on an account balance. While running, apps consume those credits. Since the begining, our users had to fill it with money manually. Now, a monthly amount can be automatically credited each month.

And to deal with scalable consumption, a threshold can be set up too. How does it work?

The billing threshold is initially set at a certain amount. Each time your account hits its threshold before the 30-day billing cycle has ended, your credit card is debited of the amount you've set up. See an example of recurring payment configuration below:

New UI

We teamed up with our most active users to create a better and clearer UI. We’re bringing to the dashboard simpler components and a more contrasted layout. You can even add an avatar for your profile or organization.

Activity Feed

The activity feed lets you track your apps' activity. When you open the activity tab, you will see each deploy and un-deploy event, with the following data:

• the date
• the type (deploy, undeploy)
• the reason of deploy (scaling, monitoring etc)
• and the commit ID

Better Logs Management

It's now easier to deal with logs: the start time of each instance is now displayed next to its id. This allows an easier bug tracking on deploy processes. It comes with a nicer and more helpful UI.

If you want to give this a whirl, head up to the console!
