Shady Billing Model - Stay Away Message from Support: "We do not yet have a tool on the console to display the traffic used by your buckets. Your invoice allows you to see the traffic used, it is updated once a day." Scaleway don't allow users to monitor the consumption of paid services such as the traffic of a storage buckets, something simply unacceptable. STAY AWAY from this type of company/billing or you have a very "unpleasant surprise" on your invoice.

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.

Blackmail to "upgrade" In addition to frequent downtime throughout my tenure with them, they blackmail me to "upgrade" to a more expensive VPS by using downtime: prnt.sc /oXus1mFLMdZF prnt.sc /ebDr_bU-2ilV They pretend to have deprecated the bootscript. Ok, but I don't want to spend time and resources every now and then to setup the machine that is supposed to run for years without intervention and restarts! This is happening the last two months. I did not have time to get to migrating to another service, but would never come back to this terrible service and would recommend everybody to keep away!

THE WORST SERVICE Really the worst, worst service ever. They perform maintenance on the servers without notice, causing the service to go offline all together. I logged into the backend and it showed IP migration, thinking it was an IP failure that prevented me from connecting. Instead, when I clicked on it, it automatically moved to a flexible IP, charged a high fee and canceled the original public IP. Geez, what kind of design is this? It's a trap.

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.
