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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
