    01 Maven, Gradle, Spring Boot — automatic detection

    Clever Cloud automatically detects the build tool (Maven or Gradle) from your project structure. The full cycle — dependency download, compilation, packaging, startup — is handled by the platform. Supported frameworks and environments:

    • Spring Boot — executable JAR packaging, automatic detection
    • Quarkus — JVM mode and native GraalVM mode (via Docker)
    • Micronaut — fast startup, low memory footprint
    • Vert.x, Helidon, Dropwizard — supported via executable JAR
    • Java EE / Jakarta EE — deployable via Docker runtime

    JDK versions configurable via environment variable. A Procfile allows you to customize the startup command for non-standard architectures.

    02 The Java PaaS for organizations that demand reliability and compliance

    Java remains the dominant language in French IT departments, consulting firms, and large enterprises. Clever Cloud is built to meet the requirements of these organizations: high SLA, regulatory compliance, multi-team access management, production observability.

    The Premium offer guarantees a 99.99% SLA, 24/7 on-call support, and priority incident resolution in under 2 hours — for critical Java applications that cannot afford downtime. A range of enterprise services can be added, such as identity and access management (IAM) via Keycloak as a Service, enabling fine-grained permission control by environment, project, and team — without configuring a dedicated Keycloak server.
