What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Clever Cloud

A cloud-native platform-as-a-service that handles application deployment, runtime management, and infrastructure maintenance. It emphasizes sovereignty by operating its own datacenters, supports multiple deployment models (cloud, on-premise, air-gapped), and is built on open standards with no vendor lock-in.
