EMSE space will be added on your clever cloud environment

Before this deployment you have to create a folder called "clevercloud" in your Spring Boot project
Inside, add a file gradle.json
.This file will contain
{ "build": { "type": "gradle", "goal": "assemble" }, "deploy": { "jarName": "./build/libs/faircorp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" } }
To know the name of your jar go on folder ./build/libs/
. Push your last changes on your Github repository. For the moment, CleverCloud used only Github
