Optimize application replication with Clever Cloud

At Clever Cloud, we make service continuity a priority in our relationship with our customers:

• Automatic backup : Enjoy optimum security for your source code, which is automatically backed up every 24 hours in our Cellar service. If necessary, you can restore it quickly and easily.
• Blue-Green deployment : Update your applications without interrupting your services. Thanks to our innovative deployment approach, you can restart quickly in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
• Add-on backups : Your data is precious. That’s why we offer daily backups of your databases, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, with data retention for 7 days, protecting you against any loss.

For companies that require optimal replication, Clever Cloud has designed a customized Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) offer:

• Scaling horizontal : Guarantee service continuity with efficient redundancy. We deploy multiple instances on different hypervisors, accompanied by a load balancer to ensure continuous operation, even in the event of technical failures.
• Leader-Follower model : With our leader-follower model, you can significantly improve your fault tolerance. In the event of a major incident, such as a complete data center failure, you can manually switch from the backup system to the leader. This process, which can take from a few dozen minutes to a few hours, guarantees a rapid, efficient response to maintain continuity of service.

For companies looking for the highest level of service continuity: :

• Distributed applications : By hosting several applications in parallel, we guarantee optimum tolerance to hardware failures. Our load balancers ensure continuous operation, even in the event of technical failures.
• Distributed Add-ons : Our clustered architectures, such as MongoDB and Elasticsearch, ensure continuous data replication. This approach offers you enhanced resilience, maximizing the availability and integrity of your services.

At Clever Cloud, we ensure the security of your data by using replication mechanisms. Our automatic backups and certain services, such as Cellar, ensure that your information remains protected and accessible at all times, including for your code during deployments.

You have the freedom to choose the level of replication that best suits your business needs. Clever Cloud offers a range of services from a basic DRP to a complete BCP solution. Contact our support team to easily activate replication or redundancy services tailored to your databases, with full automation.

Our non-distributed databases benefit from regular backups, and can be quickly restored to a new instance should the need arise. For those configured in leader-follower mode, manual failover is possible. Distributed database configurations, on the other hand, guarantee automatic recovery, thanks to their design dedicated to service continuity.

Currently, some configurations require manual failover in the event of data center failure. However, we implement advanced solutions to automate the distribution of your instances across multiple data centers, reinforcing your protection and service continuity.
