6 Best European Netlify Alternatives in 2026

Scaleway is Europe's sovereign cloud and AI provider, delivering 100+ products spanning compute, storage, networking, containers, databases, AI, and even quantum computing — all from four multi-AZ regions on European soil. Part of the iliad Group, it gives startups, enterprises, and public institutions a full-stack alternative to US hyperscalers without compromising on breadth, performance, or pricing transparency.

The platform covers every layer of the cloud stack: bare metal and elastic metal for dedicated performance, CPU and GPU instances (H100, L40S, L4) for AI training and inference, managed Kubernetes (Kapsule and multi-cloud Kosmos), serverless containers, functions and jobs, S3-compatible object storage, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), a ClickHouse-based data warehouse, Apache Kafka and Spark clusters, IoT Hub, transactional email, domain registration, and a full networking suite with VPC, load balancers, and WAF.

Key benefits:

• 5,000+ GPUs available on-demand for AI training, inference, and research workloads
• Managed Kubernetes with Kapsule (single-cloud) and Kosmos (multi-cloud) for portable orchestration
• Serverless platform covering containers, functions, jobs, and SQL databases with pay-per-use billing
• S3-compatible object storage plus block storage and Glacier cold archival at predictable pricing
• Generative APIs and AI inference to deploy and serve models without managing GPU infrastructure
• Transparent pricing at the product level with no hidden fees, egress surprises, or commitment traps
• Startup programs offering up to €36,000 in cloud credits for early and growth-stage companies
• Quantum as a Service — first European provider to offer managed quantum computing

Scaleway operates datacenters in France, the Netherlands, and Poland with upcoming regions in Sweden and Germany. Infrastructure is GDPR-compliant and HDS-certified for healthcare data hosting. The platform runs exclusively on renewable energy, publishes real-time Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metrics, and recycles hardware — making sovereignty and sustainability operational defaults rather than marketing claims.

Trusted by Mistral AI, Hugging Face, France TV, Photoroom, and the French Ministry of Education — the go-to European cloud for teams that need hyperscaler-grade infrastructure under European jurisdiction.
