Scaleway at least is genuinely not a bad alternative for this kind of thing already today - they do have plenty of managed services like serverless functions, object storage, queues, etc, in addition to the simple VMs and container hosting.

Scaleway (and I say this with very deep sadness) is pretty bad in terms of reliability right now, there are at least a couple big outages every year over the course of last few years that I've been using them.

Admittedly they have a new CTO who according to our support agent is very focused on improving that, so here's hoping, because otherwise their tech offering is very convenient.

I mean a new CTO and a potential large investment from EU govs could work wonders for stabilizing the platform.

The reliability is pretty terrible, the billing sucks (especially SEPA) but apart from that..
