Pros
- Clean modern dashboard
- ARM and GPU instances available
- EU data residency
Cons
- Smaller global footprint than DO or Vultr
- Documentation thinner than mainstream options
Testing status: we haven't load-tested Scaleway ourselves yet. This profile is built from vendor documentation, published plan specs and SLAs, and long-running community reports — and the pricing above is verified on the vendor's site, not copied from marketing. See how we test for exactly what that means.
If Scaleway isn't right
Alternatives to consider
- IONOS — lowest first-year cost — if you plan the exit
- DigitalOcean — predictable developer vps
