Jolicode Testimonial

Jolicode develops the Santa Secret application

What we like most about this hosting solution is its ease of use. All you have to do is specify the webroot directory, and that’s it – the PHP version and Composer dependencies are detected automatically!

What are the main advantages that made Jolicode choose Clever Cloud?

Well, a robust platform that works without any headaches or maintenance requirements on our side. It’s quick and easy to deploy in production, without any downtime, which is essential. Secret Santa is a Symfony application with PHP 8, and Clever Cloud’s infrastructure meets our needs perfectly.

How does the app work?

It simplifies the organization of your Secret Santa. How does it work? By automating the assignment of a person to whom to offer a gift for each of the participants. The app can be connected to Slack or Discord, and now a beta version for Zoom is also available.

K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?
