Cant find anything particularly negative or glowingly positive ... 🤷

Pricing for a basic server seems decent: https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing

The biggest advantage is the "No Fee Per Request". Which means we could use it to store anything without a penalty for storing small amounts of data.

These prices look very good on the surface.
However they are cheekily quoting prices **_without_ VAT**. So add 20% to any of their prices.
Still quite reasonable.

Even their "Bare Metal" is reasonably priced €119/month for what you're getting:

They support Terraform for DevOps: https://www.scaleway.com/en/terraform
