During the deflationary two year COVID pandemic they made zero price reductions.
If I remember correctly they even removed C1 instances thus increasing the price of their “cheapest” option from ~€3 to ~6€.
Today, all the “cost savings” that were supposedly made during the deflationary era are gone and we have to “adjust” again to even higher prices.
- arinlen 4y ago> If I remember correctly they even removed C1 instances thus increasing the price of their “cheapest” option from ~€3 to ~6€. I went ahead and checked Scaleway's pricing[1] and indeed their cheapest "development instance" is €0.01/hour, which translates to over €7/month. Meanwhile, Hetzner offers a slightly beefier instance type at €0.0065/hour, €4.15/month, and at €0.0095 you can get an instance type that comes with twice the RAM [2] [1] https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/ https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/ [2] https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

I was very happy with it from a technical perspective, less happy about their staff rarely updating the enforced boot script setup, letting them run on old outdated kernels. The official reason for decommissioning them was hardware instabilities, same reason they gave for ending their Arm64 offering. I ran a C1 server for 3.5 years and an Arm64 VPS for 1 year without a single problem.
