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.

Do not Use! Probably the worst provider I have ever used. - When registering If you have a gmail account you can't register as a company. - ID verification is not optional even though it says it is optional. - Their ID verification software / plugin is garbage. It works somewhat okay on ios but on android it wasn't able to focus properly for me to take the photo. - They can lock your service for no reason at any time. (e.g. if you don't provide ID verification)

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.

Cheap, okay performance, you get what you pay for I've been using Scaleway on and off over 8 years, they're certainly getting better, but I think they should just stick to what they were good at. Cheap boxes. Support is slow and generally unhelpful, but you get what you pay for. I use Scaleway for dev projects or things that aren't going to stay around for long. Performance is ... average. Again, you get what you pay for. Image marketplace could be better IMHO, but it is what it is. I definitely wouldn't put anything production, business-oriented, or important on the platform. I've stuck with them because they're cheap and meet my needs if I want something to tinker with

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.
