A proprietary CMS for efficiency

Évolusite stands out for its unique approach: the agency has developed its own in-house CMS for website creation. This solution makes it possible to create sites more quickly and entirely customised to each customer’s needs.

Evolusite’s CMS offers customers a simplified and intuitive administration interface, giving them access to all the essential information: site statistics, number of views, most frequently consulted pages, types of device used by visitors, content management, lists of projects, products for e-commerce, and orders.

The aim is clear: to relieve customers of the technical management of their website so that they can concentrate on their core business, while benefiting from personalised, responsive support.

The challenges of rapid growth

For two years, Évolusite was hosted on a conventional server. This solution, which was the natural choice at the start, quickly showed its limitations as the agency grew.

The more we grew, the more we had the constraint that I saw coming more and more on everything to do with high availability. To have services that are available all the time, whether there are unforeseen circumstances or not, to have everything running all the time, that’s what I was looking for.

Why choose Clever Cloud?

The search for a more robust solution naturally led Évolusite to Clever Cloud. The decisive criteria were:

  • High availability: guaranteed uninterrupted service;
  • Native scalability: automatic horizontal and vertical scalability according to needs;
  • Advanced monitoring: easy access to logs and performance monitoring;
  • Simplified database management: migrations in just a few clicks, with no downtime;
  • Automated back-ups: 7-day back-ups to ensure data security;
  • Responsive support: assistance and quick answers to questions.

Une migration préparée avec soin

Migration to Clever Cloud required considerable technical preparation. The Évolusite application, initially developed for traditional hosting, had to be adapted to take full advantage of the scalability capabilities of PaaS.

First of all, I went through various iterations of development of our application, always with the idea of being more efficient and having more availability and fewer worries in this area.

Once the development work was complete, the actual migration went remarkably smoothly. In less than twenty minutes, the entire system was up and running on Clever Cloud, including the complete migration of the database.

Now everything can be done simply and efficiently, so you’re much more relaxed when you’re migrating servers or databases.

A solid technological partnership

For Évolusite, Clever Cloud is much more than just a hosting provider: it’s a technology partner that allows the agency to focus on its core business while offering its customers a professional, high-quality service.

Thanks to this robust, scalable infrastructure, Évolusite can now support its customers’ growth with complete peace of mind, with the guarantee of a permanently available service and optimised performance.

Magnetar: a Rust Apache Pulsar client built for deterministic simulation

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.

Kubernetes orchestration: what is container orchestration for?

Container orchestration is the automation of the operations needed to run a fleet of containers in production: placing them on machines, adjusting to load, replacing what fails, letting services talk to each other, and shipping updates without downtime.
