Hello, you want to try Clever Cloud? This is the perfect starting point to do so.
Editing code? Open the file index.js, we have commented a REST call. You just need to uncomment it. It will be automatically called at the end of the application deployment. This call will get you in our user base and register you for our ongoing draw. Don't forget to modify the JSON object sent by the API call. It will help us to contact you.
And then, what's next? Two choices:
Start with the documentation here: https://www.clever-cloud.com/doc/clever-tools/getting_started/.
Install clever-tools with npm:
npm install -g clever-tools
Or with yarn:
yarn global add clever-tools
Or from binaries: https://www.clever-cloud.com/doc/clever-tools/getting_started/#installing-clever-tools.
Once clever-tools is installed, change directory to the Git repository and:
clever login
clever create --type node myApp
clever deploy
clever open
