My experience with Scaleway is that most of the time things are fine, but over 2-3 years there have been multiple very very annoying outages that have made me want to go back to DO, where I've had no issues whatsoever.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just me being an idiot or not - but sometimes my instances have become unresponsive and I've had to reboot them with a newer bootscript from the Scaleway UI to get them working again.

Will definitely be trying out Lightsail now. Good opportunity for me to familiarize myself with the AWS ecosystem.



Got the same experience with Scaleway. Suddently unresponsive instances which had to be rebooted manually. That's a no-go!


And how is the performance of the "Avoton" Atom CPUs?


I can't say for sure since I've not benchmarked performance - my python/ruby/C# web applications are not very cpu intensive.

FWIW my Scaleway instances feel way more sluggish than my DO instances - not sure if that's from the CPUs or network disks.
