“Scaleway has all of that except EFS which should be solved another way anyway realistically”

“I use Scaleway as my registrar, I don't know if i can automate domain registration but I don't have to.”

“they're not comparable to hetzner anymore, both in terms of features and price”

“I‘ve used Scaleway‘s Serverless compute offers and managed DBs an been quite happy with them.”

“it's worth noting Scaleway in the same space, for people looking for an AWS replacement more like managed services”
