Health software vendors
The HDS platform for health software vendors
Clever Cloud carries this certified infrastructure layer. Your teams focus on what sets your product apart, not on running servers.
Why health software vendors trust us
No more infra on-call ringing at night
Our orchestrator handles the operational maintenance of the layers it runs: security patches, automatic daily backups, redeployment and rollback. Your teams focus on your product instead of the infrastructure.
HDS compliance that holds at every release
Your applications run on a platform certified HDS v2.1 across the six activities of the framework, in our certified regions in France, with no transfer of health data outside the European Economic Area. Using Clever Cloud does not certify your organisation: you remain the data controller, framed by a specific HDS contract.
Deploy in minutes, not weeks
A single git push puts a new version live. Our “You code, we run” philosophy removes friction between development and production, with our managed runtimes and your managed databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Materia KV, etc. backed up daily and running within the certified HDS scope, on our certified regions in France.
Technical peace of mind, at last
-
01
01 Scale up without re-architecting
Automatic scaling, vertical and horizontal, adjusts resources to the load. Your applications adapt to growing demand as your customers arrive.
0202 Sovereignty and reversibility
A sovereign French cloud, under European jurisdiction. For HDS projects, data is hosted in France, with no exposure to the Cloud Act or FISA. We build the open-source components used in our infrastructure, such as Sōzu, the reverse proxy that sits in front of your applications, and Biscuit, our authorization token system. With open APIs and documented reversibility, you stay in control: no proprietary lock-in.
0303 French support and guided migration
A French support team, with optional 24/7 on-call. Our experts guide you through a phased migration: parallel testing, step-by-step cutover and safe rollback, to reduce the risk of downtime.

FAQ
A closer look at how Clever Cloud supports health software vendors and e-health projects
How do I integrate Clever Cloud into an existing CI/CD pipeline?
Clever Cloud integrates with most CI/CD tools: GitLab or GitHub Actions for example, through our Clever Tools CLI, our REST API, and our Kubernetes Operator. You can also set up deployments with no noticeable downtime (zero downtime) during updates.
Can resource sizing be automated?
Yes. The platform automatically adjusts CPU and memory to the load, but you can also set vertical or horizontal scaling manually through the interface, the CLI or the API, depending on your performance and cost constraints.
Can I deploy on-premise or in an air-gapped environment?
Clever Cloud’s certified HDS scope currently covers its audited regions in France. A deployment on your own hardware or in an isolated environment does not fall within this certified scope. An extension is possible at a future audit, after a risk analysis, if your project requires it.
How do you secure access to databases?
Credentials are injected automatically into environment variables, with no plaintext storage in your code or Git repositories. Connections are encrypted (TLS) and access can be restricted to specific IP ranges.
Which databases run within the certified HDS scope?
The managed databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Materia KV, etc. run within the certified HDS scope, on our certified regions in France. They benefit from automatic daily backups and continuous monitoring.
Can I connect my existing monitoring tools?
Yes. For metrics: you can publish your own metrics via statsd or Prometheus; they are ingested into Warp10 and available in the Grafana dashboards provided by Clever Cloud. If you prefer an external tool, you can query Warp10 directly or use the Prometheus endpoints. See the Publish your own metrics documentation.
For logs: you can export application logs to external tools through log drains (CLI: clever drain create …) and integrate them into your log management stack. See the Exporting logs to an external tool documentation.What mechanisms ensure service continuity?
Our environments are redundant, with automatic instance recovery in case of an incident (self-healing) and replicated daily backups. With the Premium option, Clever Cloud delivers up to 99.99% annual availability for your critical services.
Do you carry out regular security audits?
Clever Cloud is ISO 27001 and HDS certified. These certifications involve regular external audits carried out by independent bodies, to verify compliance with security requirements. In addition, we run continuous vulnerability and security-update management, along with monitoring of our open-source components (Sōzu, Biscuit, and more).
How does Clever Cloud protect against extraterritorial laws such as the Cloud Act or FISA?
Clever Cloud is a French company, under exclusively European jurisdiction. It is not exposed to extraterritorial laws such as the Cloud Act or FISA, which apply to providers governed by US law. For projects requiring HDS certification, data is hosted exclusively in our certified regions in France.
How do you avoid vendor lock-in?
We use open standards and proven open-source components. Data and applications can be exported easily, and our APIs make integration with other platforms straightforward.
What kinds of health projects can be hosted on Clever Cloud?
Telemedicine applications, patient portals, hospital management systems, medical data analysis platforms, therapeutic follow-up tools or health insurance services. Our HDS-certified infrastructure suits both production environments and pilot phases, with the ability to scale resources on demand.
How do I take a health project from pilot to production on Clever Cloud?
You can start with an HDS environment sized for limited use, then increase resources (CPU, memory, storage, managed databases) as the project grows. This scaling is seamless, thanks to the platform’s native vertical and horizontal scalability.
How much does certified HDS hosting cost on Clever Cloud?
Certified HDS hosting includes additional security, traceability and compliance measures, which makes it more expensive than standard hosting.
The price is made up of a fixed monthly subscription of €200, plus a 1.4 multiplier on the standard rate applied to the resources consumed (CPU, memory, storage, DBaaS, etc.).
The final price therefore depends on the size and resources of your project. For a precise estimate based on your project, you can contact our dedicated sales team.How is pricing calculated on Clever Cloud?
Billing is usage-based, according to the resources actually consumed (CPU, RAM, storage, data transfer) and the services enabled (DBaaS, Premium SLA, additional backups, etc.).
You can adjust your resources at any time to control your costs, whether for a test environment or a production deployment. More information is available on our pricing page.BlogBLOG

HDS migration: migrate your healthcare data with no perceptible downtime
An HDS migration consists of transferring an application and its healthcare data from one hosting provider to another while maintaining the required certification and service continuity. When properly planned and executed, the perceived interruption can be reduced to a simple DNS switch. For example, when Madietenligne, a provider of an e-health solution for dietitians, migrated to Clever Cloud, its test and production environments were moved in less than fifteen days, covering 500 GB of data, with no downtime perceived by users.Gravitee and Clever Cloud Announce Strategic Partnership for European AI Sovereignty

Some of the most interesting reliability work in distributed systems starts with a simple idea: if a system can fail in production because of time, scheduling, networking, or unlucky interleavings, then those forces should be brought into tests under control.
