Benefits of migrating to Scaleway

Cloud migration is the process of moving applications, workloads, and data from one cloud provider to another. Organizations may choose to migrate their infrastructure to improve scalability, optimize costs, simplify operations, or modernize their infrastructure.

Choosing a provider has long-term implications: it impacts not only the technical performance of your infrastructure, but also cost control, compliance, security, and sustainability. Scaleway offers a European alternative to global hyperscalers, combining reliable infrastructure with transparency, sovereignty, and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.

Why choose Scaleway?

Since its creation in 1999, Scaleway has supported developers, startups, and companies in building and scaling digital services. Over the years, it has grown into a full cloud ecosystem, offering compute, storage, networking, and AI resources that scale with your needs.

Pricing is transparent and predictable: Scaleway offers hourly billing with monthly caps, predictive pricing, and no egress fees for most services such as Object Storage or Kubernetes.

Scaleway makes sovereignty a priority: your data remains in Europe and complies fully with GDPR and local regulatory standards.

What’s more, Scaleway is underpinned by nine data centers across France, the Netherlands, and Poland, all of which run on renewable energy. Scaleway’s average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for all data centers used was 1.37 in 2023, which is below the global average of 1.55.

Scaleway also has a track record of bringing new technologies to Europe: from ARM-based Bare Metal SSD servers in 2015, to Serverless containers, Apple Silicon M1 instances, and more recently RISC-V servers in 2024. In 2025, Scaleway began the SecNumCloud qualification process, further strengthening its focus on security and compliance. These milestones illustrate Scaleway’s ongoing focus on delivering cutting-edge technologies accessible to European customers.

On top of that, Scaleway designs and assembles most of its own infrastructure, operates entirely on renewable energy, and publishes clear environmental and cost data so that customers can make informed choices.
