Last week, the well-known PaaS Nodejitsu announced its acquisition by GoDaddy. At Clever Cloud, we wanted to give kudos to both GoDaddy and Nodejistu for this new adventure. Congrats all!

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.

It's Black Friday. And for this special day, we're glad to offer to all of our users this huge 50% discount available during 48h from now, for your next purchase on Clever Cloud:

BLACKFRIDAY2014

This is our very first special discount for the Black Friday. As we're getting more and more North American users, we're launching this new habit for every year :)

Happy Coding!

TL;DR:
We are disabling the support of SSLv3 in front of our platform the Friday, 24th October. CBC has already been disabled, mitigating the issue.
The secure web is not for Internet Explorer 6 anymore.

Did you like Heartbleed? Meet Shellshock — aka CVE-2014-6271 — a new bug discovered this week in the widely used Bash command line interpreter.

We are finally landing in America! As most of our customers are outside of Europe, our hosting service has made its way to a new continent. Same service, same price, same dashboard and now a regional choice on top.

Our team has been working on this development for a long time. We wanted to improve the user experience for American users, and we are very excited that everything is working out today, just as we wanted.

On Thursday the 11th, we've learned about the end of the CloudBees' PaaS service, RUN@Cloud. It's always sad to see a competitor leaving our market. We hope CloudBees will take advantage of its new mission: Continuous integration with Jenkins.

As many people out there recommended Clever Cloud as a PaaS to migrate to, we decided to help CB's developers to migrate towards us.

Yesterday, a security patch of OpenSSL 1.0.1g was issued, fixing a pretty critical vulnerability (refered to as CVE-2014-0160).

Once issued, the Clever Cloud support team immediately updated our service with it.

Dear readers, Clever Cloud is growing every day and 2014 is a big year for us and for you either. We did some very important improvements on our service:

• Larger scalers
• Reduced deploy time (2 times faster)
• Revamped database instances
• Much simpler pricing

Devs are just like other workers. They waste a lot of time with non-productive (and often boring) tasks.

A recently published article from ICT Journal (original report done by Zero Turnaround « Developer Productivity Report 2012 ») said that developers dedicate only 1/3 of their time to writing code. It represents only an average of 15 hours per week.

Here it comes! Dzone's definitive guide to PaaS & IaaS solution has been officially launched today.

Clever Cloud has participated to the achievement of this guide and you can find all the informations about us inside it.

Another kind of 'external' DBs

Until now, databases hosted on Clever Cloud were only available from within the hosted apps. Since it was impossible to use external DB management software, it was a bit cumbersome to import or export data.
