I have moved all my projects to Scaleway to de-americanize. I am very happy for the most part. A little bit of outage here and there but nothing big. Most of it in paris region, amsterdam is usually not hit.

I am about three working days out from releasing an open source deployer with Scaleway adapters

Edit: replied to wrong person but oh well

If you plan on using real data for the first iterations, then I would certainly advise to consult with someone, as usually there are special security considerations when it comes to this kind of sensitive data.

I have not heard of them but have you thought about a dedicated server? What is your projected monthly spend?

You could:

• Rent a managed server
• Rent an unmanaged server (cheaper than above)
• Co-locate your own server at a datacenter
• Set up your own infrastructure/dc

An old thread but still worth a look:

I had a very good experience with Clever Cloud at my precedent job so I would recommend them, but we used them for some PHP projects.

IIRC the deployment system for elixir was to run the app with Mix, not releases, which I found strange but I guess it’s fine. That may have changed.

I might eventually go for a dedicated server, but I want something up and running quickly. I expect a very low load to begin with. I’ll probably launch a free version of my service for a selected small group, and I expect to keep it small for a while.

The thing that scares me a bit is security. I am coming from the front end and am not strong on infrastructure. On the other hand, I have connections I could hire for this.
