Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Cloud computing is fast increasing in popularity and use, and many companies are turning to the cloud in order to better their functions. Scaleway enables developers and businesses to build, deploy and scale their applications for the cloud, with a focus on providing a range of options so that clients can access exactly what they need.
Scaleway, which labels itself “the cloud of choice”, delivers fully managed offerings for bare metal, containerization, and serverless architectures. It is attractive especially to startups, as it offers more flexibility than alternate cloud providers, and it boasts a smooth developer experience, carbon-neutral data centers, and native tools for managing multi-cloud architectures.
Scaleway is used by over 25,000 businesses including Golem.ai and Aternos. Aligning with its focus on bringing the cloud to startups, the company has launched a “Startup Program” where participators can earn cloud credits as well as gaining access to technical expertise and masterclasses.
