Docs
Initiated by the French Interministerial Digital Directorate (DINUM) in partnership with ZENDIS, its German equivalent, it is part of the French government’s La Suite Numérique, alongside Grist, offered through our partnership with Grist Labs, and Visio, a collaborative solution that will soon be added to our platform.
On Clever Cloud, Docs can be deployed quickly, on a sovereign infrastructure, without dependence on foreign suppliers.
A tool designed for teamwork
Docs combines the simplicity of a Markdown editor with the features expected of modern collaborative tools.

Key features :
Unified authentication via Keycloak (SSO, OIDC);
Real-time collaborative editing thanks to yjs;
Content organization by workspaces and granular rights;
User file storage via Cellar (S3 compatible);
Multilingual interface.
Docs operates with an architecture consisting of three services:
Composant | Langage | Fonction |
---|---|---|
Backend | Python/Django | API, account management, business logic |
Frontend | Next.js (Node.js) | User interface |
y-provider | Node.js | Collaborative synchronisation |
Quick and guided setup
Docs can already be deployed on Clever Cloud using a sample application tailored to our platform. The PaaS architecture enables rapid deployment without the need for complex infrastructure management.

Une solution recommandée par l’État
