Clever Cloud developer tools to help you ship faster

Streamline your development workflows with tools designed for efficiency. CLI, REST API, built-in monitoring, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code: everything you need to boost productivity without unnecessary complexity.

Clever Cloud Console: your central cockpit

The Clever Cloud web console is the entry point to manage your applications. Accessible from any browser, it lets you create new projects, configure add-ons, track deployments, view logs and metrics, or manage your organisations and environments. Everything is designed to give you a clear, immediate view of your resources, without writing a single line of code.

Clever Tools: your terminal, your superpower

Manage your applications directly from your terminal. The CLI (Command Line Interface) Clever Tools simplifies every step: creation, deployment, real-time logs. No more endless switching back and forth with the web console.

# Deploy in one command
clever deploy  

# Stream logs live
clever logs --follow  

# Create a new app in 30 seconds
clever create --type node

Fully compatible with existing CI/CD workflows, our CLI integrates seamlessly into your development stack.

Installing Clever Tools in 3 ways

  • npm: npm install -g clever-tools
  • Homebrew (macOS/Linux): brew install clever-tools
  • Direct download from our documentation

REST API: connect your applications

Our REST API lets you automate the management of your applications, add-ons, organisations, environments and deployments. Everything you configure in the console can also be controlled via API.

Example:

curl https://api.clever-cloud.com/v2/self/applications \

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Secure authentication with tokens or OAuth, full documentation, and official SDKs in Go, JavaScript and Rust.

Built-in CI/CD

Deploy your applications directly from your GitLab or Heptapod repositories. With every push, Clever Cloud automatically triggers a deployment, integrates into your existing pipelines, and provides detailed logs and real-time feedback. No complex scripts or dedicated servers needed — you save time at every stage of the application lifecycle.

Infrastructure as Code

Manage your Clever Cloud environments with your favourite tools:

  • Terraform: declarative provisioning and management of your Clever Cloud resources
  • Ansible: configuration and deployment automation
  • YAML & templates to version and document your environments

Monitoring and observability

From the moment you deploy, your applications benefit from complete monitoring. Logs are available in real time with filtering and seven-day retention. System and application metrics are collected by the platform and made available through a shared Grafana instance, provided to all users. You can customise dashboards and configure alerting (currently in beta). And if you already work with external solutions like Elasticsearch, NewRelic or Prometheus, you can easily integrate your Clever Cloud data with them.

Otoroshi: API Gateway and AI Gateway

With Otoroshi, you can expose and secure your APIs. Add traffic control with rate limiting, monitoring, and centralised authentication.

Clever Cloud goes further with an AI Gateway (Otoroshi with LLMs), enabling you to integrate AI agents, orchestrate models, and connect your applications via MCP Servers.

Marketplace: your tools, one click away

The Clever Cloud Marketplace lets you instantly add production-ready components. Managed PostgreSQL, Cellar for S3-compatible storage, Redis for caching or Keycloak for identity: everything is provisioned in seconds, integrates automatically into your applications, and makes developers’ lives easier.

Clever AI

Clever AI centralises your AI usage on a single secure platform. You can aggregate multiple LLMs, manage your providers and apply your compliance rules through IAM integration and prompt filtering. Compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Clever AI also facilitates the deployment of AI agents while keeping full control over your data and workflows.
