The Weekly Platform Update is a series of posts about every impactful changes on Clever Cloud. You'll find the updated parts of Clever Cloud below, to follow fixes, updates, new products and more on a weekly basis.

Yesterday I started talking with a partner on how we would collaborate. I just wanted an IM so I invited them on our Gitter and Slack. But they don't use any of these solutions. They use IRC. Which is great but then I did not have any logger or private server around. And being most of the time on the go, I have no stable connection. I need this logger. So I deployed one on Clever Cloud. This is how I did it.

Good news everone, we are all super happy to tell you our JVM image has been updated substantialy. We now support OpenJDK 12 and GraalVM CE!

Following our release of GraalVM support, I can show you how to use Quarkus on Clever Cloud. Quarkus is a Java framework conceived with GraalVM and cloud/container support in mind. If you want to be a first class citizen in the GraalVM ecosystem, you are expected to produce native binaries. And in a nutshell, it means you will experience issues in Reflection usage because you use AOT compiling instead of JIT.

Yeah... I know.. Our job (and what we love) is to code. And SEO is marketing, no code at all. But for some reasons, you need a bit of it, so let me tell you what you need to have at least on your website. Nothing less, nothing more.

As a web developer, my first framework ever was RubyOnRails and I still keep a particular affection among them.

So when the template rendering was first introduced to me, I understood how it worked on the top layers, used it and I was perfectly fine doing so, because rails’ Convention over Configuration is very powerful.
