It's getting better and better Scaleway is one of the services I'm using since a couple of years now. In the beginning just a little bit to test them. They had some issues with older service instances which got stuck some time. Since their new pricing model and deprecation of older instances types everything is getting more reliable. S3 is working perfectly - just one small outage which got fixed fast. There is still room for improvement here for larger buckets, but it is being worked on. We will move more and more infrastructure to scaleway soon.

Hidden Costs and Indifferent Customer Service at Scaleway Be cautious of hidden costs with Scaleway. Their billing practices obscure transparency, making it challenging to track expenses due to some chargeable services not being visible in the user dashboard. Additionally, certain services are sometimes billed monthly, contrary to their advertised daily or lesser frequency. It is advisable to confirm any pricing with the helpdesk before utilizing services. My primary concern revolves around the lack of honesty and clarity in Scaleway's billing. Unexpected fees appeared on my bill without any prior indication or listing, casting doubt on the trustworthiness of [Provider Name]. This opacity, combined with a customer service team that appears indifferent to customer grievances, significantly erodes confidence in their services. If you're considering Scaleway, it is crucial to diligently monitor your bill for unforeseen charges and be prepared for a customer service experience that may fall short of providing adequate support and resolution.

Scaleway deleted all of our resources after failed payment <20 euro Scaleway deleted all of our resources just 20 days after a payment of less than 20 euros failed on our credit card. Unfortunately, their emails ended up in the wrong mailbox, and we failed to see them on time. Even so, this situation is quite unreasonable. A Kubernetes cluster, several S3 storage buckets, loadbalancers, everything is gone and unrecoverable.

Rebooted my dedicated server to lose… Rebooted my dedicated server to lose all my data You'd think I wouldn't fall for it twice, but the small dedicated servers they offer are very prone to failure. After several years, rebooting just kills them. Support can't do anything because all the nodes/blades are in the same unit and it would disrupt other customers.

A good sustainable, European cloud provider Last year we migrated part of our infrastructure from AWS to Scaleway. We were a bit hesitant because of all the negative reviews, but decided to give it a try. In the end we had only positive experience with Scaleway. They offer a wide variety of services at a good price. We haven't had any issues with billing. After a few months they contacted us to have a chat about our experience and our needs. Support is always quick, even without a support plan. Of course, I don't know what happened with the other reviews but if you're interested in a sustainable, European cloud alternative then I'd suggest to just give it a go and decide for yourself.
